Much of architect Aditya Prakash’s furniture reflects the French modernist elements of Chandigarh. However, his interests included various other schools of modernism and furniture styles. This dining chair, with its bent wood backrest and rounded tapering legs, for instance, neatly captures his fascination with Nordic design. Its robust construction, clean lines and woven cane seating lends the chair the charm of a classic. It can be used in various settings as a Dining Chair or a Desk Chair.
