This beautiful chair was lovingly hand-made from (mostly) vines stripped of their leaves, then molded into shape and dried until they are sturdy enough to be sat on.
Can you see the pattern of coiled vines on the seat, some painted green and others varnished brown?
Long ago, I’m told, this was a garden chair. Now it sits in what I think of as a wonderfully Swedish setting, next to a giant tin bathtub–surrounded by gleaming tile, sturdy plumbing, and a bright-curtained window with a potted plant.
(Another closer view of the vine chair, in case you decide that you’d like to make one yourself.)
