The Palan Chair reimagines the palanquin as a contemporary seat. Referencing a vessel historically associated with procession, status, and ritual, the chair transforms that legacy into an object that elevates the everyday act of sitting.
Its architecture is defined by a protective upholstered interior clad in raw leather, contrasted by a framed panel of alpaca wool at the back. Honest timber joinery and tapered legs give the piece a quiet monumentality, allowing it to function simultaneously as furniture and pedestal. Familiar in silhouette yet distinct in character, the Palan Chair explores ideas of support, presence, and the relationship between body and object.
