Malawi Chair - Salmon pink

The Malawi Chair in soft salmon pink

The timeless handwoven Malawi silhouette in a gentle, warm salmon pink — playful yet sophisticated, and a lovely way to add a soft wash of colour to a room.

Handmade by skilled artisans

Malawi chairs are handwoven from rattan strips worked into intricate patterns along the sides and seat. Rather than the glue or nails common in European furniture, makers secure every strip with traditional knots, and shape the signature curved barrel back using spare parts from cars and bicycles as temporary guides. Each chair takes an artisan around 10 days to complete.

Why you'll love it

• Entirely handwoven — no glue or nails, just traditional knotwork
• A sculptural statement piece that's genuinely comfortable
• Supports skilled artisan communities in Malawi
• Soft, warm blush tone that lifts any space

Each one is unique

As these are bespoke and handmade by several different groups of artisans, every chair varies very slightly. Occasionally one may have a small wobble — easily corrected with stick-on felt pads under the legs.

Dimensions: L 70 x D 45 x H 78cm — Seat height 40cm

Care: Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, which can cause dark staining on the rattan. If marks appear, dissolve a little oxalic acid (available from most hardware stores) in water and brush over the affected area to restore it.

Styling: Beautiful in a bedroom, dressing area or bright living space, styled with linen and plenty of plants.
