CO91975-Klismos-Console-with-Glass-Top
Design inspiration for the Klismos Console came from ancient Greek furnishings, specifically the klismos, an elegant Greek chair with curved legs. Even though almost no furniture from ancient Greece has survived the centuries, Greek artwork such as pottery decorations and friezes depict daily life in Greek homes of the time. This has given us an accurate idea of early Greek furniture design. Chairs in ancient Greece had hard stiff backs and arms. Even the people depicted in paintings and friezes sitting in this type of chair look like they are uncomfortable. The klismos was an entirely new type of chair conceived by the ancient Greeks. It’s design was smooth and flowing. This unique chair was made with delicately curved back and legs and was used principally by women. Legs of this console are based on legs of the ancient klismos. Its robust metal construction ensures sturdiness, even under a heavy load such as a thick stone top. Four polished bronze glides are provided which also serve as levelers – a useful feature to have when the floor is uneven. The Klismos Console is offered in a variety of finishes. Rivet heads along the top edge are solid polished bronze. Custom sizing is available. Designed by Shah Gilani, ASFD.
