Furniture · Mahogany

Faux bamboo furniture belongs to the English Regency, when cabinetmakers furnishing the Royal Pavilion at Brighton carved beech and mahogany to read as bamboo, ring for ring. The fretwork back is older still: the Chinese railing patterns Thomas Chippendale published in 1754, repeated by English chairmakers for decades after.

The Kew brings the two together in solid mahogany. The open back features Chinese Chippendale–style fretwork, its intersecting diagonals framed by carved faux bamboo and natural rattan cane bindings. Each member of the frame is carved with the swell and rings of a bamboo cane, and every joint is bound in rattan, wound in close bands and crossed at the corners. The arms angle gently outward from the back; braced legs and an X-shaped stretcher keep the frame open and light, from every side. The seat is upholstered in a camel woven fabric with a self welt.

At home at a dining table, a writing desk, or alone in a corner of a bedroom. For the dining table, pair it with the armless Kew Faux Bamboo Side Chair. Other fabrics and leathers may be commissioned through the studio.
