About the Item

We kindly invite you to read the entire description, as it provides detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our items. This iconic and charming children's armchair is crafted from bamboo and features a spacious, comfortable round seat seamlessly integrated with the backrest. The two elements are connected by a sturdy, semi-circular bent bamboo branch. The structure stands on four solid, straight legs reinforced at the base with horizontal crossbars for enhanced stability. The seat and legs are made of heat-shaped bamboo, while the strong bindings are in wicker, giving the chair a light and airy appearance. This armchair was handcrafted between 1960 and 1965 with exceptional artisanal skill in a workshop in Brianza (Lombardy, Italy). The tradition of these rustic furnishings originated in the United States in the late 19th century and quickly spread across Europe and Italy, particularly in Brianza, the Po Valley, and Tuscany. Once considered a humble material, bamboo has evolved into a refined, luxurious detail in contemporary designs, valued for the countless hours of meticulous craftsmanship required to shape it. This skill is now in the hands of a dwindling group of highly specialized artisans. The term "bamboo" refers to a group of vigorous, evergreen herbaceous plants that thrive in tropical or humid climates. All bamboo species share a distinctive hollow, tall, and rigid stem that is easy to work with. Bamboo is widely used for producing furniture, chairs, loungers, sofas, decorative objects, and even flooring and parquet. It is particularly appreciated for its ability to withstand storms without breaking, thanks to its flexible, hollow stem and remarkably strong root system. Symbolizing purity, resilience, and strength, bamboo remains one of the most versatile natural materials. Other similar materials commonly used in furniture-making include: • Rattan: sourced from the Indian cane (also known as "Indian rattan" or "rattan cane"), which, once dried in the sun at the edges of forests, develops extraordinary durability and strength. It is used for outdoor finishes, with or without its natural bark. • Wicker: derived from the innermost part of the rattan cane, it is split into very thin strips, making it more refined and delicate than standard rattan. • Willow Wicker: obtained by weaving willow branches or other pliable woods. Thanks to its flexibility and strength, it has long been ideal for crafting baskets and hampers. • Rush: a small perennial plant found in marshy or coastal areas. When processed, it is used to produce Vienna straw. Bamboo is primarily cultivated in China, Thailand, and Indonesia, where it is exported worldwide. However, bamboo plantations have also been established in Italy, particularly in regions with suitable climates such as Lombardy, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna, and Tuscany.Regardless of where Italian artisans source their materials, the entire complex and extraordinary production process takes place in Italy. This ensures that bamboo craftsmanship—like many other traditional techniques—remains an alchemical fusion of raw materials, artisanal expertise, and artistic vision. For centuries, Italian artisans have safeguarded and passed down their skills, creating exquisite, one-of-a-kind pieces that captivate with their beauty and craftsmanship. The item is in good condition. Diameter 55 cm, Height 53 cm.
