The story

A low seat for slow afternoons by the window.

The Guynemer is a chair to lean back in. Its seat dips gently between two teak rails, its back reclines at an easy angle, and with no arms it leaves room to tuck your legs up with a book or a cup of tea.

It is made from two natural materials: reclaimed teak for the frame and handwoven abaca, a plant fibre, for the seat and back. Because the teak is reclaimed, its grain and tone vary from piece to piece, and the two-tone abaca makes each band a little different, so every chair has its own look.

The design

Three details that make the Guynemer.

The Guynemer is a frame of reclaimed teak filled with bands of woven abaca. These three details give it its character.

Two-Tone Abaca, Close Up

Two-Tone Abaca, Close Up

Up close, each band of abaca is closely woven into fine, even ribs, pale straw and warm tan with streaks of darker chestnut brown. Beside it, the reclaimed teak back post shows its own natural grain.

Two Side Frames, Two Stretchers

Two Side Frames, Two Stretchers

Each side is one teak frame: a sloping seat rail, a straight front leg, a curved rear leg and a reclined back post. A low stretcher joins the front legs and another the rear legs, and there are no arms.

Low and Open

Low and Open

At 25.6 inches wide and 27.6 inches high, the Guynemer sits low beside a window, a fireplace or a sofa, and with no arms it keeps an open outline. Its honey-toned teak and two-tone abaca sit well with linen, travertine and pale oak.

Dimensions

Will it fit?

Width 25.6″ 65 cm
Depth 29.5″ 75 cm
Height 27.6″ 70 cm

Planning tip. Allow a footprint of about 25.6" × 29.5" (65 × 75 cm), plus roughly 30" (75 cm) of clear floor in front. At 27.6" (70 cm) high it sits low, so it can stand beneath a window or beside a sofa without blocking the view. The curved rear legs sweep back to the floor, so leave a little space between the chair and a wall. The box measures 26.4" x 43.3" x 29.3" (67 x 110 x 74 cm), so check doorways first.
