Kardiel
Tripod Chair, Shale/Oak
Tripod Plywood Mid-Century Modern Chair
Featuring a smiling seat and three-legged tripod design, this high-quality reproduction of the 1963 Hans Wegner design is described as Avant-Garde. The chair's arching curves and exaggerated seat lines have earned it nicknames such as wing and smile chair.
Making the Icon
Kardiel’s reproduction stays true to the original 1963 mid-century modern design. It incorporates quality features to ensure long-lasting service and great design. The plywood is molded to the exact curvature and dimensions, creating soft contours that invite relaxation.
The back and seat tilt angle are precisely set to position the sitter as originally intended. This high-quality reproduction features solid construction and good posture at a fraction of the original cost.
About Vintage Tailored Twill
Twill is an interwoven knit fabric where threads take turns in an over and under weave, forming a pattern that appears somewhat random from a distance. Vintage Tailored Twill has a finer, tightly tailored flat weave appearance, offering a more refined look than typical coarse twill. The multi-tone nature of the fabric strands provides depth and texture.
