Description
This set of four bamboo armchairs is made by Calif-Asia and Cartel, Philippines, as confirmed by the original maker's label reading "Handcrafted in the Philippines by Calif-Asia and Cartel." The chairs present a crisply rectilinear, architectural profile executed in natural bamboo poles with closely fitted, hand-wrapped rattan bindings at the corner junctions and stress points, a construction method that functions both as reinforcement and as a deliberate decorative cadence. Each chair features a squared back with an openwork composition: repeating circular bamboo rings to either side and a central ladder-like panel of vertical canes with a cross member, giving the design a graphic, almost geometric "screen" effect while keeping the overall form visually light. The seats are caned in an open hex-like weave within a bamboo frame, and the arms are built as sturdy, squared rails with rounded bamboo terminals, creating a balanced combination of comfort, structure, and clean-lined modernity. Subtle tonal variation in the bamboo, visible nodes, and natural checking underscore the hand-crafted character typical of export-quality Philippine rattan and bamboo furnishings produced for the American market, aligning stylistically with late 20th century coastal décor, tropical modern interiors, and Hollywood Regency-inflected rooms that favor warm natural materials with strong linear silhouettes. Overall height is to the top of the back (37.75 inches), with arm height at 25.5 inches and seat height at 17 inches.
