Shanghai is a chair with ash structure and leather seat.‎Designed by Rune Krøjgaard and Knut Bendik Humlevik the Shanghai Chair is a modern interpretation of the ancient Chinese Horseshoe Chair.‎ It can be said that the design goes more than 700 years back as the inspiration for the armrest was found in a chair dating back to the Yuan Dynasty, a period where Marco Polo was still in China.‎The Shanghai Chair features a steam bent solid ash wood frame and a seat of paper cord, French rattan or leather.‎ The back and the armrest play a central role in the chair’s construction, giving it an iconic shape and firm support.‎ The high back provides comfortable support and the armrest effortlessly surrounds the body of the chair.‎ The paper cord seat is hand-woven and the leather upholstered seat option comes with Premium or Vintage Leather from Sørensen Leather.‎“It’s still one of the designs I’m the most proudest of having designed.‎ Not only by the looks, but the effort and work which we put into the chair.‎ From our drawings to the final chairs, damn, there were a lot of changes and modifications.‎” - Rune KrøjgaardFRAME: Frame is 100% Ash.‎ The seat is handwoven papercord, French rattan or upholstered with leather.‎FRAME VARIATIONS: Natural, Black, Smoked
