Wing Chair Water Hyacinth W/o Chusion

The Wing Chair Water Hyacinth is a standalone seating unit constructed from a combination of solid teak wood and natural water hyacinth fibers. Designed with a traditional wingback silhouette, this model measures 80.00 cm in width, 105.00 cm in height, and 55.00 cm in depth. The overall coloration is dark, achieved through specific finishing techniques applied to both the wooden framework and the woven plant materials.

The structural skeleton of the chair relies on teak wood, selected for its natural density and resistance to environmental decay. Teak provides the primary load-bearing framework, forming the legs, the vertical support posts, and the upper perimeter of the backrest. The visible wood components display a dark stain that darkens the natural golden-brown undertones of the teak, creating a uniform, deep monochromatic appearance across the exposed frame.

The backrest and side panels incorporate water hyacinth, a renewable aquatic plant harvested and dried for weaving applications. Artisans braid and twist the dried water hyacinth stalks into thick, durable cords before weaving them in a dense vertical and horizontal pattern around the teak frame. This weaving covers the entire backrest, the signature "wings" that angle outward from the upper back, and the sloping armrests. The water hyacinth retains a visible organic texture, showing the natural variations of the plant fibers even under the dark surface coating.

Measuring 80.00 cm wide, the seating area accommodates a single occupant. The depth of 55.00 cm provides a proportionate seat span from the front edge of the frame to the base of the backrest. The backrest rises to a total height of 105.00 cm from the floor, positioning the top edge well above the shoulders of an average seated adult. The distinctive wing profile extends forward from the upper sides of the backrest, a traditional design feature originally conceived to trap heat from a fireplace and block drafts. In this model, the wings are integrated directly into the water hyacinth weave, maintaining a continuous surface texture from the rear of the chair to the front-facing panels.

The armrests curve downward from the wings, following the natural contour of the woven material down to the seat base. The legs of the chair are extensions of the teak structural supports, tapering slightly toward the floor to ensure stability on flat indoor surfaces. This unit is supplied without cushions, meaning the seating surface consists entirely of the woven water hyacinth structure over the wooden sub-base. The absence of upholstery exposes the intricate hand-weaving techniques used in the construction, allowing direct contact with the natural fibers.

Maintenance of this seating unit involves routine dusting with a dry microfiber cloth or a soft brush attachment to remove particulate matter from the recessed areas of the water hyacinth weave. Because the materials are natural, exposure to direct, prolonged sunlight can cause the dark finish to fade over time, and high-humidity environments require periodic monitoring to preserve the integrity of the dried plant fibers. The combination of structural teak and pliable water hyacinth results in a rigid, stationary furniture piece suited for placement in living rooms, sunrooms, or reading areas where natural woven textures are utilized within the interior layout.
