Product Description
Our Library Chair is a contemporary re-edition of the study chair created for the university library in Chandigarh. The chair has a cane lattice seat and a solid teak back rest. A single cross bar or brace lends support to the back legs. The backrest in our edition is one notch lower than the top of the side frames, an aesthetic detail we liked in certain vintage models we studied in Chandigarh.
Product Specification
Product Options
We offer this product in a choice of three wood finishes: Natural Teak, Dark Stain and Z4 Walnut.
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 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 sealer is hand-applied.
Please note, each batch of teak is unique and actual shade may vary a little from the reference images.
Wood Finish - Natural Teak / Dark Stain / Z4 Walnut
