The Crab Chair gets its name from its bold, organic curves and natural strength. Like the resilient crab, the chair’s structure is both durable and eye-catching, making it a true conversation piece. Its sculptural form is designed to stand out in any setting, balancing artistry with comfort.
Material Details
Crab Chairs are crafted from Meh wood, also known as Suar wood or Trembesi wood in Indonesia. This tropical hardwood is prized for both its commercial value and aesthetic appeal.
Key Characteristics of Meh / Suar / Trembesi Wood:
- Identification: Clear contrast between its pale sapwood and rich, dark brown heartwood.
- Grain: Strong, thick grain lines that add depth and a natural textured beauty.
- Growth: Fast-growing trees that allow for large, single-slab cuts — ideal for furniture.
- Uses: Widely used in luxury dining tables, statement beds, coffee tables, and artistic furniture.
- Aesthetic: A timeless material that merges natural beauty with enduring strength.
Finishing Options:
- Polished surfaces for a smooth, refined look.
- Stained finishes to deepen the natural tones.
- Painted designs for markets that favor bold, modern expressions.
Durability & Use Cases
The Crab Chair is designed to perform in a variety of environments:
- Indoor Use: Elegant seating for hotels, resorts, luxury villas, and restaurants.
- Outdoor Use: When properly treated, Meh wood withstands weather, making it suitable for gardens, patios, and poolside areas.
- Events & Hospitality: A striking piece for exhibitions, lobbies, and venues seeking bold design elements.
