ALICE dining chair:
Wood & woven chair

Alice is a rush seat dining chair. The two hind legs are gossipers, they are turned on themselves so they can talk. The twist of the backrest is formed from this dialogue which ensures comfort – their stories. Alice is a stackable wood chair and this version with a woven rush seat recovers the weaving technique used by many artisans in the past in Portugal. Woven by hand, the rush seat is developed in a traditional pattern that makes the wood chair resistant and comfortable. Being ideal for many spaces, Alice knows how to receive with nobility in the fine Portuguese way.
