The present pair of chairs is unusual for its generous proportions. The additional width of the seat is elegantly echoed by the broad splat and emphatic curvilinear sweep of the top rail. The commodious form, inspired by earlier meditation seats of Buddhist monks, invites lingering conversation and would have been a suitable addition to a scholar's studio.
