Riviera two-seater rattan armchair with ochre velvet cushion 123 x 80 x 80 - KOK

The Riviera rattan armchair from KOK has a dual personality: both sturdy and understated with its double cane work and premium rattan, yet also supple and adaptable, with its flowing, water-like curves and brass studs that allow it to slip effortlessly into any interior style.

Its contrasting shapes summon up the imagery of the first routes of exploration and navigation charted by the cradles of industry – the furniture of the English trading posts, of the trains speeding through India or Indochina – but also a more discreet modernity, a reconciling restraint in which different worlds come together beyond conflict.

In keeping with the Riviera chair, which unites linen and wood, this armchair delights us with the regal pairing of velvet and rattan.

More than a simple invitation to travel, then, the resolutely bohemian Riviera armchair seats us in a century taking a critical look back at its colonial past, in a modernity that is both committed and elegant, joining the two ends of the world.
