A generous, low-slung rattan lounge chair with that familiar, enveloping form — somewhere between a basket and a gesture. The silhouette is unmistakably mid-century in spirit, often associated with the work of Isamu Kenmochi, though this example sits more comfortably in the manner of rather than directly attributable.
What it does have, in its favour, is substance. The weave is tight and consistent, wrapped over a solid bamboo framework that gives the piece a reassuring weight and structure beneath the softness of its form. It doesn’t feel flimsy or decorative — it feels made.
There’s a natural ease to it. The kind of chair that doesn’t need much staging — it just occupies a corner and gets on with being quietly useful. Reads well against plaster, linen, timber. Anywhere that benefits from a bit of texture and a bit less fuss.
A simple seat pad finished in Belgian linen is included.
