Characterised by its bold geometric shapes, rich materials and luxurious aesthetics, Art Deco transformed the way we perceive interior spaces between the two World Wars. At the emergence of the movement, in addition to classic materials (such as lacquered wood, steel, and glass) exotic materials were also popular: from ivory and crystal, to animal skins like those of zebras or sharks. In line with the trend of using innovative techniques and materials, this Art Deco chair is made out of wood and rattan - a tough, adaptable climbing plant that thrives in tropical regions across Southeast Asia and parts of Africa and Australia.

This Art Deco rattan chair exudes the sophistication so characteristic of its design style, as well as the artisanal talent of its maker. With its bold, geometrical shape and defined edges, the chair draws the eye gently and tastefully. The piece is both sturdy and lightweight - qualities attributable to its mix of materials. As rattan combines both flexibility and durability, it is used alongside the wood frame to construct the seat and the backrest of the chair, allowing the skilled craftsman to weave it into delicate, complex symmetrical patterns in a masterful manner. Each strand is interlaced to form a detailed piece of functional art, able to withstand the test of time while retaining its graceful silhouette. Another notable detail are the twelve pieces of dark wood placed on the sides, the back, and between the seat and front stretcher of the chair, which offer a striking and contrasting look to the light tones of the frame and rattan. At the heart of this piece’s charm lies the marriage between undeniable skill and great quality.

The contemporary popularity of the rattan chair stands as evidence of the inventiveness and timeless allure of the Art Deco style. Through its harmonious construction and natural beauty, this chair makes for a perfect accent piece in both modern and classic interior settings.
