Product Description
A re-edition of the Easy Armchair - a comfortable lounge chair with signature compass legs - originally designed for offices and residences in Chandigarh and Ahmedabad. Our re-edition is handcrafted using material and techniques similar to the production methods used in the 1950s. The cane seat and back are made of natural rattan cane, peeled and woven meticulously by hand. Structural enhancements have been made to make the chair robust for contemporary usage.
Product Specification
Product Options
We offer this product in a choice of four wood finishes: Natural Teak, Dark Stain, Z4 Walnut and Black.
For the Natural Teak finish, the wood is sanded and finished with hard wax oil to bring out the natural, golden-brown colour of the teak.
For the Dark Stain finish, a coat of water-based, teak stain is applied to give the wood a darker teak shade, followed by a coat of a sealer.
For the Z4 Walnut finish, a proprietary one, the wood is hand-stained with a water-based walnut stain and then a coat of a sealer is hand-applied.
For the Black finish, the wood is sprayed with an eco-friendly, water-based paint that leaves the grains and patterns visible.
