Wood and leather chair, 'Colonial Coffee'

Pamela

Jun 7, 2021

beautiful design

This chair is beautiful to look at, and I do so wish it were more comfortable for me. It may be good for other people, but unfortunately I've found that it causes me back pain. Although I imagine the leather would soften over time, it is very hard to sit on, and I have to use cushions on it to provide back support as well as cushioning for the bottom. Because of covid, I haven't had anyone else here to try it out, but I'm hoping that it's good for visitors even though it's not good for me. I do love to look at it.

One of a kind.

I needed a small chair in the bedroom and this is perfect. I am 5'3" and my feet actually touch the floor. I read and sew in this chair. The leather tooling is gorgeous. I think the photo makes it look smaller than it is. It will go with just about any decor. I like that it is unique!

Furniture

Home furniture is intended to create an individualized living area, yet in the past, styles and designs were dictated by ruling monarchs, conditions of the era and availability of materials. In Latin America during the Spanish Colonization, furniture designs were styled after European trends. Though craft guilds were formed to control styles, indigenous Peruvian and Mexican designers gradually developed and incorporated their own characteristics. When Independence was achieved the guilds were dissolved, allowing for more imaginative interpretations, many of which were influenced by a fusion of pre-Hispanic traditions and artistry. Today, leather furniture and wood furniture feature an amalgam of pre-Hispanic and Colonial styles. West African tribes consider a throne or stool to be the seat of the owner's soul, and when not in use it must be leaned against the wall so no other soul will occupy it. A royal throne must not touch the floor. During inauguration, a new king is raised and lowered over the stool without touching it. Each stool is made from a single block of wood featuring a crescent-shaped seat, a flat base and ornate support structure featuring symbols that are unique to each soul, therefore each one has a different meaning for the person whose soul it seats.
