About the Item
This 20th-century chair, hand-carved from a single piece of wood by the Naga people of India, is a remarkable blend of primitive charm and modern spirit. The Naga people, known for their rich cultural heritage and skilled craftsmanship, have created a chair that is not only functional but also a significant artifact.
With its low seat and innately primitive style, this chair is as versatile as it is striking. It's the perfect perch for a stack of books, a child's chair, or positioned under a painting to anchor a wall.
As an important artifact of Naga craftsmanship, this chair represents both the cultural heritage of its makers and the timeless appeal of its design. Its simple yet elegant form adds warmth and character to any space, making it a cherished addition to any home.
