Rattan and wicker. ย They are theย coconut scented sunscreen and bathing suitsย of chairs. ย Even if you are 10.6k miles from the sea or any other body of water than might get a rayย of sun, these woven materials just make it feel like summer is here… and with it, possibility and endless bliss.
Enough said, right? ย Who needs more coaxing to pop a few of these Malawi chairs into their cart and sail down the virtual shopping aisle? ย Not me! ย BUT,ย did you know that if you purchase from CB2 (the least expensive place I could find online anyways) you actually get to save Africa. ย No freaking kidding. ย You can literally save an entire village… while shopping.
Who knew shopping could be so life altering! ย Each one of these chairs is hand woven and even hand knotted out of bamboo to create a truly artisan piece. ย Each one is signed, too. ย I love that! ย Here are a few of my favorite ways to incorporate the Malawi Chair into your home…
Earthy:
Use pale colors on the wall, accent with vintage portraits, and go dark with your chair.
Sultry:
Add palms, a deep wall color, and florals + linen (all affordable at H&M home!)
Earthy Modern:
Use Sheepskin, a bohemian rug, and modern accents to bring theย Malawi chair indoors (this one isย $399 at CB2)
Use them in the Dining Room:
Pair a set of chairs with a beaded chandelier, an oversized bohemian wall mirror, a distressed table, and wood accents for a relaxed atmosphere.
The Outdoor Dining Room:
Go Naturalย Chair with a wood outdoor tableย or white chairs with wood (image one and two)
Create a cozy place to sit with a graphic pillow + baskets overflowing with green
The Lace Jute rug (starting at $64!)ย + The Claw foot Tub + A Laundry basket with handles for easy toting? ย LOVE!
Paint it bright turquoise… or orange or pink or whatever strikes your fancy!
What a great and versatile chair, right? ย Where would you put the Malawi chair in your home?
