As we say about our fabulous Skye Chair, this most famous of Scottish islands “epitomises so much of the romance of Scotland’s Highlands, from the majestic peaks of the Cuillins to the bonnie boat speeding across the sea.” And it is to the Cuillins that we have returned when designing our fabulous new swivel chair.
The Cuillin range of mountains are world famous and dominate the landscape on Skye. On our many visits they have provided the most dramatic of back-drops – as well as a serious hill-walking challenge with mountaineers drawn to their steep cliffs and deep cut corries and gullies. As the renowned Scots-born American environmentalist John Muir said, “The mountains are calling, and I must go”…but we decided that the mountains could, in fact, come to you.
We have used the same striking and hugely comfortable frame as our Skye chair. If it ain’t broke, why fix it? But this time we have upholstered in a much shorter sheepskin giving a sharper, cleaner outline – rather like the silhouette of the mountains themselves. The biggest departure from the Skye is the incorporation of a hidden swivel mechanism into a deeper seat so that, much like from the top of the Cuillins, you will have a 360 degree view of your surroundings!
