Description
A handsome juxtaposition of sleek arms and handwoven rope back, this chair is designed after the one from the mid-1900s, called "vibo" style and created by French designers Adrien Audoux and Frida Minet.
The our French Modernist Armchairs are made from Mindi Wood, a hardwood that allows us to give a slight bounce when we sit down.
The back is hand-braided from Water Hyacinth, the strongest natural fiber on the market. Despite its look, Water Hyacinth weave is soft to the touch, giving comfort to bare skin.
The hand woven water hyacinth catches the light from all angles while to the smooth natural finish of the frame stands bold and consistent, creating an eye-catching combination and contrast.
This chic beautiful hand-woven style chair is truly a skilled piece of handwork, versatile year round.
This piece is made of natural Mindi wood, there will be slight variations in color and grain between chairs. This adds to the one-of-a-kind character of this unique seat.

CARING FOR YOUR WOODEN FURNITURE
Wood is a natural material.
During warm, humid weather wood can expand.
During dry weather wood contracts. These seasonal variations are normal characteristics of wood.
Do not position in front of radiator, direct sunlight,
avoid direct heat, moist environments and not for outdoor use.
Do not use abrasive cleaners. Wipe wood with a damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth. Any spills should be removed immediately. Take care when moving the furniture.
To maintain the colour and quality of the wood used for indoor only.
MINDI WOOD
Mindi is a hardwood timber, coarse in texture and their colour varies from light to dark brown. Natural variations may occur adding a charm to each piece.
MAHOGANY WOOD
Mahogany is a hardwood timber, coarse in texture and their reddish-brown colour.
TEAK WOOD
Teak is a hardwood timber, coarse in texture and their colour varies from golden to brown colour.
Teak wood is typically used in our Outdoor Collection for more intricate joinery in our Indoor Furniture Colleciton.
Leather & Vegan Leather:
Avoid sharp objects and excessive force to prevent scratches and tears.
Keep it out of direct sun to avoid fading.
Keep the design distanced from fireplaces and heating vents. High temperature and humidity can dry leather out.
We suggest you steer clear of wax, polish, soaps and oil leather cleaners. They can affect the finish or discolour the leather. For small spots and spills use a dampened, soft cloth and let it air dry. For oil, butter, or grease spills use a clean, dry using cloth. Do not use water. The spot should naturally sink into the leather and fade away.
Apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent drying out. For scratches rub leather conditioner with your finger or a soft cloth.
For thorough cleaning, we suggest taking this piece to a leather specialist only.
Fabric:
The fabric has been treated for soil and stain resistance. If the fabric gets dirty, apply 10-20ml of detergent solution on top of the spot; use a soft bristle brush to clean the fabric. Softly clean with a clean cloth and cold water. Allow the fabric to air dry.
Water Hyacinth (Rope Weave) :
The French Modernist Armchair - Natural is made from Water Hyacinth rope, a natural unprocessed product. Keep it clean by using normal white vinegar from your local supermarket, spray in low quantities directly into the weaving, and use a soft toothbrush to clean it. Dab dry with a clean towel and allow to completely air dry before using. Avoid using bleach.
Keep this material away from high-humidity areas for prolonged periods of time.

Why did the French Modernist Armchair take 2 years to develop?
Hear it first hand from our founder, Donald Lang.
THE FLOATING EFFECT
Did you know we make strong as furniture?
With a 200kg max weight, we made sure they are strong and safe.
We test all our furniture until it beaks, and guess what?
we try hard!
That's impressive!
WHEN STYLE MEETS COMFORT
Who says support can't be soft?
The French Modernist Armchair was created with the ultimate combo of highback support and cosy comfort.
Perfect for late-night work sessions or a meal with your loved ones, the French Modernist Armchair is built for it all.

I thought that I would be waiting for weeks to try out my new chair.
To my delight, it arrived in 2 days. I love it! It is firm but very comfortable, all I needed was a comfy cushion and I was in heaven. Couldn't recommend this product enough. Thank you.

The entire ordering process was so easy, arranging transport to Perth was also relatively simple and the end result: a beautifully crafted piece of furniture that I will cherish.
I only wish I had enough $$$ to order more...

I fell in love… with a chair. I dreamt of him (or her) and then finally succumbed. It’s Christmas, and I deserve it. The wait was much shorter than anticipated (a delightful surprise), and the delivery perfect in every way - by that I mean notified the day prior by text and arrived precisely during the one hour time slot as promised. Unbelievable! Carefully wrapped, emerging beautifully from their corrugated cardboard to adorn our living room. Thank you to the genius craftspeople of Larkwood!
