It was purchased in the United States more than fifty years ago by an Australian couple working there, from a widower who had already owned it for more than thirty years, and later travelled back to Australia with them. The full three module span is the reason to buy it, repeating the looping pretzel frame across almost two metres in a way a single chair cannot. Low, open and visually rhythmic, it brings a strong modernist line to the room while the staining and tonal variation accumulated over decades give the cane a depth that new material cannot reproduce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarper Fredericks Designer Reworks takes selected vintage furniture and develops a considered alternative to the piece as found.

The design is carried by repetition, with each strand following the same broad curve before tightening into enclosed plinth bases and open framed backs. The chair and lounge should remain together. Their shared geometry gains its force through repetition at two different scales, creating a complete composition rather than two related pieces. The dark cane gives a natural material the strength of graphic line, while the open structure keeps the substantial forms visually light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarper Fredericks Designer Reworks takes selected vintage furniture and develops a considered alternative to the piece as found.
