Vintage Tommy Bahama Chinese Chippendale Bamboo Side Chair, Reupholstered In Kravet “Wild Thing”
Chairish$495
A stunning example of the quintessential Tommy Bahama aesthetic, this vintage Chinese Chippendale-style bamboo side chair is equal parts resort-chic and collector’s gem. The richly toned rattan frame features the iconic geometric fretwork back — diamond lattice detail over vertical spindles — with wrapped joint accents throughout that speak to classic craftsmanship. The stretcher base echoes the fretwork motif, giving the piece beautifully consistent detailing from top to bottom. The drop-in seat has been professionally reupholstered in Kravet’s iconic “Wild Thing” fabric — a lush, tan-and-brown leopard print that plays perfectly against the warm tortoise tones of the bamboo frame. The result is a chair that feels at home in a maximalist dining room, a chic bedroom corner, a sunroom, or as a statement accent piece.
