It’s all about the weave of the Chao chair. The natural rattan is worked into mini arrow heads that come together to create a kind-of herringbone arrangement on the seat and open back. Surrounding it are thicker canes that bend and bow to form striking arms that slope downwards. Style tip: the thicker canes come to life when natural light gets to bounce off them so if you can, position it close .to a window so it can really shine.
