The Paris Chair is one of the most important early designs by Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. Created in 1929, before he had even graduated as an architect, it marked the beginning of a career that would later produce some of the twentieth century's most celebrated furniture, including the Egg and Swan chairs.
Gracefully proportioned with a gently reclining silhouette, the Paris Chair remains remarkably contemporary nearly a century later. Whether placed in a sunroom, reading corner, bedroom, or covered outdoor space, it brings an effortless sense of Scandinavian design history and relaxed elegance.
Each chair is handcrafted by Sika-Design using sustainably harvested natural rattan, a remarkably strong solid vine renowned for its durability and longevity. Unlike bamboo, which is hollow, rattan is solid throughout, allowing it to be hand-shaped using traditional steaming techniques and creating furniture that can last for generations.
Two chairs are currently available. A fitted seat cushion is available by special order.
