The Globe Chair was originally designed and patented in 1921, and made in Durban until the early 1940’s. Everyone that sees the chair has a fond memory of a favourite grandmother using them in her kitchen. Its plain simplicity belies its real ingenuity, the unique bolt together assembly system. This incredibly strong assembly system and the durable solid bent wood frame is the reason that you still find these highly sought after chairs in use today. I felt the chair deserved a second chance, and so I am putting it back into production, having made one small improvement – hiding the assembly bolts without compromising on the strength and offering it in a variety of contemporary finishes, from raw beech to brightly coloured spray finishes.
