The Tegal Dining Chair from Currey & Company honors traditional Indonesian rattan craftsmanship while introducing an unconventional material detail. Solid rattan forms the frame using established construction techniques, but leather replaces the typical thin reeds as binding ties, creating unexpected textural contrast within familiar form. Named for a city in Central Java known for rattan work, the chair demonstrates how material substitution can refresh historical methods. A reversible loose seat cushion completes the structure, allowing the woven framework and leather detailing to remain the primary focus of this updated interpretation.
