Gent’s fan back chair

Kevin based the design on one of the earliest Orkney chairs, with a traditional fan back. The seat was handwoven with seagrass and the back handstitched with oat straw. His work combines traditional techniques with contemporary innovative designs. All the materials for the chair were sourced as locally as possible, in accordance with Kevin's environmental philosophy.
