The Kruger Folding Director’s Chair

The Kruger folding Director’s Chair is a unique version of the classic Director’s Chair. All components are beautifully hand turned and measured by the expert eye of master craftsmen. Solid brass hinges subsequently complement the handcrafted Zambezi Teak.

The result is a utility chair of rare beauty, elegance and comfort that sets it apart from other chairs of the same genre.

The Design

The aim was to achieve an upmarket Director’s Chair for clients who want to distinguish their properties.  Richard Lowe thought long and hard about this, and decided to build a chair using all turned components in Zambezi Teak. Even the tenon joints are turned on the lathe by hand to exactly fit mortice holes that were pre-drilled into the square stock. The beautiful hand-turned components add distinction while the solid polished brass hinges bring timeless beauty to this piece. The team then decided on an antique genuine leather double quilted seat and back cover. The result is a unique chair that has certainly grabbed the attention of many interior decorators.

The material used

The Kruger Director’s Chair uses solid brass hinges to complement the hand-worked Zambezi Teak. Zambezi Teak is a very attractive red-brown timber and exceptionally hard. The normal finishing coat is a lacquer, but an oil finish is also available.

Seat covers can be either quilted genuine upholstery leather or a high-quality auto seat canvas designed for top-of-the-range SUVs.

Where is the Kruger Director’s Chair used?

Generally, the Kruger Director’s Chair is purchased by upmarket Safari Lodges for their dining chairs. They have also been purchased as office chairs and for verandas.
