AWESOME VINTAGE MOVIE DIRECTORS / AFRICAN SAFARI FOLDUP CHAIR

AWESOME VINTAGE MOVIE DIRECTORS / AFRICAN SAFARI FOLDUP CHAIR

WHAT A WONDERFUL OLD MOVIE DIRECTORS OR AFRICAN SAFRI CHAIR. LARGE 70CM WIDE AND 98CM HIGH IT MAKES FOR AN AWESOME DISPLAY PIECE BUT IS STILL FULLY FUNCTIONAL. IT FOLDS UP NICELY AND EASILY IN A SCISSOR ACTION WITH METAL CHAIN LOCK.

The modern American style Director’s Chairs were introduced in the early 1900s with the design we recognise today of a lightweight armchair that folds side-to-side with a scissor action, using a canvas or similar strong fabric for back and seat. American film directors began using the simple folding design on set in the 1920s which finally gave the chair its modern name and cementing the design into modern culture.

The chair came to Africa with the first Safaris, with the ability to fold it and its portability making it ideal for the nomadic safari life. It’s ideally suited to our outdoor lifestyle and is found in most bush camps and lodges, and on stoeps and patios alike. Designers and decorators have also come to recognize that it makes both an attractive and functional chair to use in less traditional roles – as a home office chair or around boardroom tables, for dining and relaxation.
