The Firmin FULL willow armchair epitomises the unique qualities of willow: a flexible fibre that can be woven by hand, yet rigid enough to dispense with a wooden frame. The Firmin willow armchair is, in fact, constructed like a double basket. The base is an upturned basket (the ‘radial’ weave typical of basket bases can be seen on the seat of the armchair), with the seat itself forming the second basket, this time right side up. The whole is very sturdy and visually harmonious. The second distinctive feature of the Firmin willow armchair is its exceptionally comfortable high backrest, whilst taking up very little space, particularly in width (only 56 cm overall), making it ideal for small spaces (narrow balconies, for example). Matches the Mélina willow tables.
The Firmin openwork wicker armchair is suitable for both private and professional use (hotels, cafés, restaurants, etc.).

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" 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", but it can be dyed or lacquered, as is the case here with the Bianka model.
Overall dimensions: height 110 x width 56 x length 70 cm, seat height 39 cm (without cushion), armrest height 68 cm. Seat depth 47 cm, seat width 43 cm. Weight 4.5 kg. Frame woven from natural wicker with a polyurethane lacquer finish. Made in Europe. The Firmin wicker armchair is sold here without a cushion, but a matching cushion is available as an option in a range of fabric options.
A willow armchair can be used in a conservatory, a winter garden or occasionally outdoors in fine weather, but it cannot be considered garden furniture. It is not designed to withstand bad weather, damp, frost or excessive exposure to direct sunlight. The Franz willow armchair is also hand-woven. Dimensional variations of 1 to 2 cm may occur; no two are exactly alike.
care: dust with a damp cloth, avoid commercial cleaning products. If heavily soiled, clean with a sponge and Marseille soap.
