Rossini dining armchair, taupe rattan

Sika-Design's Rossini chair boasts a classic look that immediately evokes images of French bistros and cafés. Made of durable rattan, the chair is, indeed, suitable for both private homes and public places, such as hotels, cafés and restaurants. The bistro chair is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, so it is equally at home on the patio or balcony and in the garden.

The Rossini dining chair is made of Indonesian, sustainably sourced rattan, whose charming greyish tone perfectly complements the classic design language of the chair. The back and seat of the rattan chair are hand-woven, making each chair one of a kind, with the natural material adding to the chair's unique charm: rattan is characterised by a lively surface with varying shades or annual growth rings.

Rattan is a tropical species of wood that thrives best in slightly humid conditions – the Rossini chair should therefore not be placed next to a fireplace or other heat source. In outdoor use, rattan tolerates temperature fluctuations well, but it is advisable to place the rattan furniture under a canopy, for example, to protect it from the scorching sun as well as rain and snow. The garden chair can also be protected with a weather-resistant cover or stored indoors when not in use.

Danish Sika-Design is known for its attractive, handmade rattan and wicker furniture. Ankjær Andreasen founded the company in 1942 and named it after the delicate and elegant sika deer that is called sikahjort in Danish. In addition to high quality, the requirements Sika-Design has set for its products are comfort and sustainability. The company’s Icons collection features beautiful rattan furniture from some of the most talented architects and designers of the last century such as Arne Jacobsen, Franco Albini, Viggo Boesen and Nanna & Jørgen Ditzel.
