Papasan chair

Modern furniture should be comfortable, stylish, functional. For these purposes, experts annually invent its various models. But among such a wide range there is furniture that is in unquenchable demand, for example, a chair Papasan.

The middle of the last century was marked by the appearance of a new type of furniture - a round chair. A new form, flowing around the edges and his comfort immediately attracted attention. This type of furniture received its name in honor of the furniture factory of the same name in which it was created.

Originally, such chairs were used in bohemian places. High demand was due precisely to its unusual shape, because all types of this furniture were initially square.The second explanation for the popularity lies in the convenience of such a chair. It is very soft, cozy, it is not only possible to sit comfortably in a sitting position, but also to climb into it with legs, you can assume a reclining position. The third secret of popularity is the versatility of using this chair. It can be installed in any room: kitchen, bedroom, nursery or living room and it will always be in place. The fourth secret lies in the ease of care for such a product.

Many furniture factories are engaged in the production of the Papasan chair today, but they all offer their customers almost identical models of this type of furniture:

• Classic wicker chair. This model was the founder of the appearance of other species. Differs minimalist design, comfort and coziness.
• Rocking Chair Rocker. Cozy, comfortable, made of natural rattan. The base is located on stable runners, which provides not only comfort, but also safety.Such furniture can withstand loads up to 122 kg. There is an opportunity to get a folding rocking chair or usual. Exact specifications should be checked with the seller.

• Papasan swivel rattan swivel chair. This type of furniture is ideal for those people who do not like standard models. The robust design ensures safety, comfort and stability, as well as the complete absence of any sounds during rotation.
• Chelsea - This is a more modern, improved model of Papasan chairs. In appearance, it looks more like a standard version of this type of furniture, but at the same time it maintains smoothness of lines, comfort and convenience.
• Dakota. This chair combines classic shape, comfort and convenience. The model has a small narrow rattan armrests, a steady frame and an attractive appearance.

Classic versions of this furniture are made of rattan. This material is in fact a tropical palm liana, which is distinguished by its high strength, flexibility and durability.Initially, chairs were made only from natural rattan, and later they were made from artificial material.

Today, a wide variety of materials are used for the manufacture of this type of chair, mainly wood or plastic. Papasan plastic chairs are distinguished by their rigidity, fragility, but ease of maintenance. Usually such furniture is purchased for cottage or recreation, but not for regular use. Some furniture manufacturers offer their customers chairs made from water hyacinth.

A distinctive feature of the seats Papasan is their impressive size. Unlike standard seats, the dimensions of this can vary considerably:

• Width Such a product may vary in the range from 80 cm to 125 cm Width 110 cm is most typical for classic models.
• Depth seating is in range from 80 cm to 100 cm. At the same time, chairs with a depth of 95 cm are considered the most comfortable and popular.
• Height the seat itself, as a rule, does not exceed 110 cm
• Height all model seats - 45 cm

This type of furniture goes on sale both separately and in conjunction with accessories. The pillow is the most important among them. At the same time, it can be intended both for a seat on it, and for placing it under the head or neck. As additional accessories, many manufacturers offer special straps. With their help, you can securely attach the pillow to the rattan base. The support for a chair is used for children, for convenience of their raising on a chair, and also as a standard support under legs.

Initially, they were produced only in Indonesia - a country where the rattan itself grows. Now, many furniture factories are engaged in the production and manufacture of furniture of this type. The most popular and successful are:

• Ikea. The world-famous brand that uses both natural and artificial rattan to make Papasan chairs.
• "Eco Veranda" - another successful manufacturer of this type of furniture.To create their seats manufacturer uses artificial rattan of the highest quality. The company makes various models.
• Factory "Rammus" also makes wicker rattan chairs from artificial material in a fairly wide range.

These three manufacturers today are considered the most conscientious, and their products are of the highest quality. Especially I want to note that in these furniture factories chairs are made by hand.

Papasan chairs are delivered to the buyer unassembled due to their bulkiness. Furniture may be assembled in the future either independently or by specialists of the company for a fee. A detailed description of the assembly of each type is described in detail in the instructions. But it is worth knowing that they are all going on the same principle:

• It is necessary to find four springs in the lower part and lubricate them with special oil.
• Further, with the help of 4 screws, the upper part of the chair is screwed to the bottom.
• A pillow is placed on the seat and, if necessary, attached with special straps sold in the kit.

If a rotating Papasan model jams or does not fully roll, you must first examine the rotation mechanism for the presence of foreign parts in it, such as threads or fragments of something. Then you need to carefully lubricate the mechanism with oil. It is best to disassemble the chair before this, it will help to make sure that all its particles are whole. If the rocking chair has ceased to swing, it is necessary to lubricate the runners, after making sure of their integrity. If necessary, they can be replaced with new ones.

If the straps or cushion are torn, it is better to get a new set instead of the old one. If the frame itself broke, then it is necessary to glue the broken parts together with special wood glue, and after it dries, cover the surface with a special varnish and leave until it is completely absorbed.

If you first decided to make furniture yourself, in particular, a chair of this type, you need to stock up on ready-made blanks: the upper round part of the seat, the lower stand, a pillow, springs, bolts and straps. In furniture stores, as well as in the field of sale of household goods, these parts are always sold.

It is necessary to install springs in the lower part of the future seat and make holes for the bolts. Using a screwdriver, you must connect the upper and lower parts, and then install the pillow. Such a manufacture of the chair differs little from its assembly. This is the easiest option.

If you have skills in weaving, you need to stock up on a vine or rattan, scissors, shears, ruler and patience. Separately, it is necessary to weave the upper and lower parts of the chair and its sidewall, if necessary. Then, using bolts and glue, all the parts are connected to each other. Weaving options may be different, but such independent production of furniture is suitable only for those people who have experience in weaving with a vine.

Papasan armchair wonderfully fits into the interior of any apartment. Even in such a modest interior of a small living room, it looks quite comfortable and attractive. The chair does not take up much space, but it becomes one of the main highlights of this living room.

Stylish and modern minimalist, but at the same time, the bright design of the office with the advent of this furniture seems to come to life.That chair gives it comfort and convenience, while maintaining the overall severity of the room. These simple examples of the use of this furniture prove once again its versatility and convenience.

It is impossible to find negative reviews about these chairs. Their owners speak positively about them. Especially buyers highlight their stylish design, versatility of use, comfort and convenience, as well as affordable cost and durability. Due to its characteristics, Papasan furniture, judging by the reviews, will still be at the peak of its popularity for a long time.
