It is thought that the design goes more than 700 years back as the inspiration for the armrest was found in a chair dating back to the Yuan Dynasty, a period where Marco Polo was still in China. The Shanghai Chair features a steam bent solid ash wood frame and a seat of natural French rattan. The back and the armrest play a central role in the chair’s construction, giving it an iconic shape and firm support; the high back provides comforting support and the armrest effortlessly surrounds the body. The Shanghai is the perfect dining chair, but can also be used as an occasional chair, providing an artful eye-catching attraction wherever it is placed. Also available upholstered in vintage leather.
