Orkney Chairs at first were nothing more than a low round stool covered with straw. The curved back, slightly reminiscent of wingback chairs, was meant to protect whoever was sitting in the chair from the cold winds of the North Sea. This Scottish chair has two open arms, a woven seat and four tapered legs. The unpretentiousness, simplicity and originality of the shape and material, will make this petite Orkney chair a great decorative accent in any living room or child’s bedroom. (Seat H: 26cm)
