HALDANE MARTIN launches the Globe chair re-edition prototype
by Haldane Martin   
26 May 2010
The Globe Chair was originally designed and patented in 1921, and made in Durban until the early 1940's.
Everyone that sees the chair has a fond memory of a favourite grandmother using them in her kitchen. It's plain simplicity belies its real ingenuity, the unique bolt together assembly system. This incredibly strong assembly system and the durable solid bent wood frame is the reason that you still find these highly sought after chairs in use today. Haldane felt that the chair deserved a second chance, and so it is being put back into production, having made one small improvement - hiding the assembly bolts without compromising on the strength and offering it in a variety of contemporary finishes, from raw beech to brightly colouredspray finishes.

 

See the relaunch at Rooms on View on 27 May 2010.
