Very Rare 1960s Lounge Chairs by Mini Boga for Taaru

Very rare lounge chairs in very good condition. Designed by Mini Boga in the 1960s. Manufactured by Taaru, India. The boxy frames of these impressive lounge chairs are made from solid teak wood, and the joints and details show a real quality of craftsmanship. The seat and back are made from thick bound rope which gives these chairs a very natural appearance. Extra comfort is provided with a seat and back cushion, which is held counterbalanced by a metal rod to the rear. The cushions are reupholstered in a beautiful light linen fabric. Each chair has a branded signature. Mini Boga established her furniture brand Taaru in New Delhi at a time when there was little modern design in India. Her simple forms are solid and have a softness and grace similar to contemporaneous Brazilian design. Inspired by craft traditions, her designs take on a functionalist and minimalist approach. She was the only one to offer her designers royalty for their design when all others simply copied foreign models from Bauhaus and international magazines.
