Description
The chair was inspired by the The Alhambra court workshop from the 15th century. However, this archetype of chair descends from the “sella curulis”, an ancient Roman folding seat used by consuls and high officials. This throne-like chair was used in the Medieval Age to symbolize secular power as the customary seat of the higher clergy. In the mid-nineteenth century, during the Renaissance Revival, Granada was inspiration for Romantic travelers, looking for reflections of the influences of Islamic woodwork.
