Grant Featherston resolved the design for the R160 when riding on a tram in Melbourne.
GF was attempting to resolve the problem of manufacturing a curved frame without incorporating the inherent steep costs associated with it. While travelling on a tram in Melbourne, Grant began tearing his ticket and came to the realisation that he could create a curve by joining pieces of plywood for a fraction of the cost that. What he created, was the R160.
This is a legend of a chair and this example has an original black base, which, contrary to belief was one of the original options offered by Featherston. We have had this chair reupholstered in luscious green velvet, which has accentuated all of its beautiful lines and provides a masculine juxtaposition to its undeniable curves. Please note that we do offer Australia wide shipping. Just email me and ill be happy to provide you with a quote.
