The BM1 chair is made of solid wood with a seat of hand-woven paper cordel, treated with soap and wax to make it stay resistant. Each part of the chair is handmade, and by exploring the chair, you will discover many unique details. The round chair leg is made out of one single piece of wood, and the steam-bended back rest has a shape that follows the natural anatomy of the human spine.
