Greek Klismos Chairs
Klismos chairs were created by the Ancient Greeks around the 18th century. The original Klismos chair designs were constructed from wood and unfortunately no originals have survived. That said, the Greeks have left us plenty of evidence of their Klismos chairs throw art, sculptures and history. These Klismos chairs are now making a big comeback in contemporary & traditional interiors today.
The chair was designed to be light so they could be carried easily. Another interesting fact about these chairs is they were generally made of wood and used mostly by women. Also, more contemporary & traditional Klismos chairs are often painted, have lacquered or gold leaf veneers and some have woven
decorative upholstery seats. These Klismos chairs seem to fit everyones style. Here are a few Klismos chairs I found:
