Classic Chair Designs Everlasting Good Looks and Comfort

By Sabrina Smith


Wicker chairs have been gracing our living rooms, bedrooms, lavatories and verandas for generations. There are good reasons for the ongoing recognition of the wicker look. For one thing, organic materials like cane and rattan have an appeal that never goes out of style and are brilliantly on trend in current day industry of interior design, which emphasises natural products. Wicker also adapts well to a big range of styles of chair, with something genuinely available for everybody.

Standard wicker chair designs are of 2 main kinds. From one viewpoint, you will be able to make a choice from a variety of designs that have been around for decades or even centuries. The wicker rocking chair is a fine example. The classic rocker has been helping Americans relax for perhaps as long as three hundred years. The quality and style artfulness of American wicker rocking chairs achieved great celebrity in the middle of the 18th Century and the designs are still popular today.

A second set of classic designs is dependent on the flexibility and practicability of wicker as a material. The lines and forms of conventional seating designs like the the time honored wingback armchair, or the perennially fashionable club chair that originated in France, have been adapted by master workmen and reproduced in wicker. The chaise longue, which mixes the comfort of an armchair and the benefit of a day bed, is another French classic design that has been recreated in wicker work. Wicker chaise lounge is the perfect choice for a sunroom, bedroom or a spacious bathroom.

Because wicker can be so simply moulded into a range of forms, it is also feasible to make chairs that are well fitted to the demands of comfort. With wicker you don't need to have hard angles and joins. It can be formed into flowing forms that are designed for the number one purpose of the chair, designed for the body. One may also find seating fitting specifically designed for children, so that the younger generation does not always have to suffer the trial of fitting into an adult sized world.

There are 2 chair designs that will appeal to anyone with a terrace or veranda. One is the reliable rocker, where Grandma sits and knits in her twilight years. The other is the porch swing seat that has achieved standard status in films, for good reason. The wicker swing seat is an American classic that encourages wonderful country summers, young love and calm, trouble free living.
