The Athena Arm Chair is woven entirely in grey Kubu rattan, its generous proportions and 5-centimetre VWTC cushion offering genuine comfort suited to relaxed, extended sitting rather than a purely upright, formal posture. At 63 by 66 centimetres, it holds real presence as a single accent chair or grouped with matching pieces from the same line.
Kubu weaving produces a looser, more textural pattern than tighter formal techniques, giving the chair's surface genuine visual depth beneath its grey finish. Balinese weavers shape the rounded arms and back over a bent frame before beginning the weave, working the rattan while it retains enough flexibility to curve into the chair's full silhouette without cracking along the bend.
The included cushion, upholstered in VWTC fabric at a genuine 5-centimetre thickness, adds real cushioning depth rather than a thin, token layer, making the chair comfortable for extended sitting at a dining table, desk, or in a considered living room seating arrangement. Its fitted proportions keep the cushion secure through regular daily use.
The cooler grey tone offers a contemporary alternative to natural rattan's typical warm colouring, adapting easily to a wide range of surrounding interior palettes rather than dictating a single warm, earthy direction throughout a room. This versatility has made grey Kubu pieces increasingly popular among buyers building considered, adaptable interiors.
Because the weave and cushion share the exact same specification across the wider Athena line, this chair can be mixed confidently with matching baskets, tables, and other seating from the same collection to build a genuinely coordinated room from a single considered material story.
Within a bali furniture living room or terrace, the Athena offers genuine comfort rooted in considered craftsmanship, its grey Kubu weave and cushioned seat suited to both everyday relaxation and more considered entertaining occasions throughout the year. Because the chair shares its exact weave and cushion specification with the wider Athena line, it integrates seamlessly with matching baskets and tables from the same collection, allowing a household to build a genuinely coordinated room around a single, considered material story over time.
