Yonne Rattan Bar Chair - Beige

This bar chair pairs a woven rattan seat with a slim iron frame, and it is the seat that makes it. Fine rattan strands sweep in curves across a round bowl, bound into a thick rattan rim, and the seat dips in the middle and rises at the back and sides so it curves up around you. The beige weave looks light and warm, which keeps a tall seat from feeling heavy in a room. Overall it is 54cm long, 52cm wide and 94cm tall, with a seat height of 72cm and a seat depth of 43cm, a generous perch with room to settle back.

A 72cm seat height puts it at a bar counter or a kitchen island rather than a standard table, and a row of them along a long counter looks as good as a single one in the corner of a room. It suits a window counter, a high bar table, or a tall work surface in a studio or a home office. Low down, the iron legs are braced by a frame of crossbars, a handy place to rest your feet on a seat this high. At 5.7KG it is easy to lift and move, and the maker gives it a maximum load of 110KG.

The finish combines lacquer and powder coating, and care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth. Rattan is a natural material, so expect small variations in tone and weave from one chair to the next; that is part of its appeal. Each leg ends in a small round foot. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. For styling, let the weave do the work: set it against a plain wall or a wooden counter, where the beige rattan sits happily with the grain, and keep the pieces around it simple so the curve of the seat reads clearly.
