My parents own a slightly more upmarket version, a little more reclined, and with more leather strands to the seat. It is probably my age, and despite having been transported to a colder, damper, darker climate, it shows no signs of breaking yet.

I was going to flame this post with a high-horse rant about how Canadian Designer Patty Jonhson would better be described as a Canadian Plagiarist, seeing as her design differs little, if at all, from the traditional design. However, as the company supports local, sustainable processes, I’ll curb my tongue. Suffice to say that I’d rather buy the traditional chair than the contemporary “re-design”.
