Product Description
The x+l 11 Lounge Chair echoes classic mid-century design and is constructed with traditional woodworking joineries such as dovetail and finger joints, which make it robust despite it's slim frame. The upholstery fabric is a 100% natural silk fabric called Sivan Natural.
Sivan Natural is a 100% silk fabric made from two types of silk yarns called 'Gicha' and 'Katia'. Both these yarns are produced from the silk waste of the Tussar cocoon. Intrinsic to India, Tussar cocoons, unlike mulberry silk cocoons, are not cultivated but are grown in the wild. The primary yarn that is reeled mechanically from it is called Shantung. Gicha and Katia are hand spun using the remains left after reeling Shantung. This is done without twisting the yarns, which gives them their characteristic texture and colour. These yarns can only be woven by hand on pit looms. The natural colour of the fabric is derived from the colour of the leaves the worms feed on and hence varies according to the season and the region.
The x+l 11 Lounge Chair is also available in two other combinations of paired fabric colour and wood shade. The two combinations are Night Sky fabric colour (dark blue) + Burnt Cobalt Coir wood finish and Sequoia fabric colour (rust) + Dark Teak wood finish - which can be seen here.

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.
