ANONYMOUS C-1930
A simple side chair from the early 20th century with an art nouveau touch to the curves of the back. Reinstated cane seat returning to the chairs original design, with so many chairs of this period the seat had been replaced with an inexpensive moulded ply board. The red lacquer finish was one of our first experiments ( with a nod to Eileen Gray) inspired by 17th century European japanning techniques in an attempt to create a superior depth of colour and durability. The result is a red that appears to emanate from within the chair itself rather than from light bouncing off the surface.

“I discovered in the gloss of this lacquerware a depth and richness like that of a still, dark pond, a beauty I had not before seen”
