FIRMIN kids willow armchair

The Lisa brown willow armchair for children

This child's armchair is a scale model of the Antonin willow armchair for adults, from which it takes the characteristic openwork weave. However, the seat is entirely woven, which avoids the need to use a cushion. Thanks to its light weight, it can be handled by the child himself, while remaining very stable.

Willow, rattan, what's the difference?

Rattan is a tropical plant (85% comes from Indonesia) related to the palm family which produces a "cane" that is easy to bend (with 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 raw, the willow fibre leaving its smooth and satiny surface to appear "au naturel".

Characteristics and options

Overall dimensions: height 50 x width 36 x length 41 cm, seat at 26 cm. Weight 0.9 kg. Natural willow structure, nets, arches, weaves and ties: natural "brown" (copper tone) willow. Made in Poland.

A willow seat can be used in a veranda, a winter garden, or outdoors in good weather and occasionally, but cannot be considered as garden furniture. It is not made to withstand bad weather, humidity, frost, or too long exposure to the sun. The brown wicker 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.
