In Victorian times, it was considered unseemly to snuggle too close to your intended until you were married. So for all those lovesick ladies and gentlemen, the “courting bench“, was invented. Also referred to as a tete a tete, the courting bench consisted of two seats joined together, but facing opposite directions. Very popular amongst worried Victorian parents. Probably not so much for the young men and women required to sit politely in them.
Those prim Victorians definitely wouldn’t have appreciated the sensuous curves of Onyx’s brilliant, and oh so modern, interpretation.
The Moebius is beautifully woven out of sustainable rattan and water hyacinth. The twists and turns of an actual Möbius Strip are preserved to create the gentle curves of the back and seat.
The amazing framework of this chair can be appreciated best without the additional water hyacinth woven in. In fact, the double armchair can be ordered this way as well, which is personally my favorite of the two versions.
Despite the lovely outdoorsy images, this chair is intended for indoor use only. To find out more, including how to order, click here.
