Brown willow armchair for children

The brown willow armchair for children

This children's armchair is the willow version of the traditional rattan children's armchair. We find the ramps (armrests) tied entirely in willow splint and the characteristic silhouette of the old rattan armchairs. The only small originality is the openwork gallery in the backrest. The children's chair is equipped with double-sided glides (one hard side for soft floors, one felt side for smooth floors) that can be replaced if worn. A matching cushion is available as an option.

Willow, rattan, what's the difference?

Rattan is a tropical plant (85% from Indonesia) related to the palm family that produces a "cane" that is easy to bend (steam). Rattan allows for tighter curves and finer weaves than willow, but being less rigid, it requires a heavier frame.

Willow grows easily throughout Europe. It does not require any plant protection products or fertilisers. The harvest is completely regenerated each year, so it is a very easily renewable resource. Peeled hot ("buff" or "brown" willow with natural copper tones) or cold (white willow), it is most often presented untreated, the willow fibre leaving its smooth and satiny surface "au naturel".

Characteristics and options

Overall dimensions: height 53 x width 41 x length 36 cm, seat at 26 cm. Weight 2 kg. Structure in pine and hazelnut, nets, arches, braids and ligatures: natural buff willow (copper tone). Made in Spain. Also available in "white" willow.

A wicker chair can be used in a veranda, in a winter garden, or outside in good weather and occasionally, but cannot be considered as garden furniture. It is not made to withstand the elements, humidity, frost, or too much exposure to the sun. The armchair is also hand-woven. Dimensional differences of 1 to 2 cm may occur, no two are exactly alike.

Maintenance: dust with a damp cloth, avoid commercial cleaning products. In case of heavy soiling, clean with a sponge and soap.
