Designed by BassamFellows for Stellar Works, Pagoda is a collection of chairs inspired by the simplicity of the café chairs of mid 19th century Vienna and the café culture of 1920s Shanghai. A modern take on a classic, the expertly constructed chair marries efficiency and comfort. Not only is it elegant and beautifully proportioned, but it is also made from the very best materials and constructed for maximum durability for both residential and hospitality settings. 

The compact design has a structure that has been reduced to its very essence. Easy to ship and assemble, the flat pack chair consists of only six components – a curved seat, rounded back and four legs – delivering high quality craftsmanship and allowing a multitude of material configurations. The chair’s circular seat takes inspiration from the “Way of Nature”, or concept of “oneness” in Chinese culture while its cantilevered, slightly upward curving arms and back subtly reference Pagoda gates, giving the chair its enveloping shape. A streamlined, yet thoughtfully reimagined silhouette lends the chair its distinct personality. Pagoda is available in a variety of material finishes. 

The carved, solid wood back and seat ring are available in oak or walnut while the seat comes in a classic Vienna cane or with upholstery in both leather and textile options. The legs are solid, carved wood, or, polished or gold anodized aluminium. Together, seat and leg options can be mixed and matched in a variety of ways. 

The chair’s flat pack design dramatically reduces shipping costs, minimizing excess packaging and environmental impact while its compact, custom-designed attaché-style carrying case can be easily carried home from a retailer or shipped in bulk for hospitality or other contract uses.
