Our Mantis Side and Mantis Lounge Chair, carved entirely from solid wood, represent a fresh take on the classic American courthouse chair, inspired by the powerful silhouette, stance, and repose of the praying mantis. Strong and elegant, sharp and curved, thick and thin — the Mantis is sturdy and solid, yet visually light, and available with hand-stitched leather cushions to amplify the comfort of what is already a profoundly ergonomic seat. Each joint of beautifully grained wood is reinforced by steel pins to ensure maximum durability.
