This garden armchair is based on the Indian Lattice design which I designed after a
trip to India and Nepal in 1984 inspiration coming from art and architecture of the
Mogul India to Indian Raj. The lattice panels of the backs are strongly reminiscent
of the lattice tracery found in Nepalese and Indian architecture. The seats offer a
combination of Indian/oriental style but equally an elegant Victorian style influenced
from Empire. The Indian Lattice motif on the back and front under rails of the seats is
also used as under rails on Indian Lattice tables. This design feature can be found
across the Indian Sub Continent and commonly around the rim of the Indian Ocean. I have
even seen a similar design cut into rusting corrugated iron on a shack on the island of
Zanzibar.
