The Indian Lattice garden chair is a handsome dining chair taking on different character
when left in natural wood or when painted different colours. Many of the tables can be
made with the same under rails as the chairs.
I designed the Indian Lattice Collection after a trip in 1984 to India and Nepal 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.
