Robert is an exclusive wicker chair designed by Robert W., who today is known as the pioneer in the production of rattan furniture. He set the course for how we, through solid craftmanship and by challenging the possibilities of the material, produce rattan furniture today. The Robert chair contributes a natural element in the dining room, conservatory or in the cottage.
The Robert chair was designed in 1901 and is part of Sika-Design's exclusive ICONS collection. Our ICONS collection represents relaunched design products from some of the world's greatest and most acclaimed designers of their time. With great respect and admiration for the original designs and in close collaboration with the descendants of these well-known furniture designers, we are happy to bring these icons back.
The chair is handmade with great expertise and the fine detailed windings in the seat and back are made on a rattan frame. Design uses carefully selected rattan for furniture production to ensure the highest quality. Rattan is often compared to bamboo, but unlike bamboo which is hollow, rattan is a solid material. Rattan is a remarkably strong and indestructible material and you therefore get a unique piece of furniture that can last for generations.
A cushion for Robert can be purchased in selected fabric. We also offer to sew cushions in our own fabric - please contact us to find out fabric consumption.

This furniture is designed by Robert W. (1825-1902) who was known as the best wicker maker in Denmark. Many architects came to his workshop to get knowhow and understanding of weaving and wicker work. Among these were Danish architects Arne Jacobsen, Viggo Boesen, Nanna & Jørgen Ditzel and Kay Bojesen who all had many of their prototypes made in Robert W's workshop in Copenhagen.

This furniture is handcrafted in rattan, which is one of the most sustainable materials available for furniture manufacturing. Rattan is often confused with bamboo, but unlike hollow bamboo, rattan is a solid material. This makes rattan furniture very durable, and able to last for generations.
When steamed for 10-15 minutes, rattan can be formed by hand using old traditional manufacturing techniques and a few simple tools. Rattan comes in 600 different variants and at Sika-Design we only use the two best qualities called Tohiti and Manau. Read more about rattan here.
MAINTENANCE Rattan requires no maintenance but can be wiped with a lightly dampened cloth if needed.
Our cushions are developed in our Danish sewing studio to add extra comfort and fit perfectly into each piece of furniture. For our indoor cushions, we use high-quality foam that keeps its shape and ensures optimal comfort. These are presented in a selection of high-quality fabrics with a wear resistance of minimum 20.000 Martindale. Cushions that are made to order cannot be returned.
