Old Cataract Armchair

Limited Edition Exclusive
Add to Wishlist

Many pieces borrow their names from ancient Egyptian mythology — Kephri the scarab of rebirth, Sobek the crocodile deity, Nout the sky goddess — a recurring reference that gives the collection a sense of ritual weight, rendered in noble materials like walnut, bronze, leather and hand-patinated steel.

The Old Cataract Armchair takes its name from the legendary hotel overlooking the Nile at Aswan, a place steeped in the golden age of travel, and channels that same sense of storied elegance into a limited edition of eight pieces plus one artist’s proof from Oud Architecture, the Paris studio of Marie-Sarah Burckel and Josselin Berteloot.

Built from stainless steel, leather and walnut, the armchair is finished with passementerie details — the ornamental trimwork historically found in grand hotel interiors — that soften its architectural lines with an unexpected touch of decorative craft. The mix of cool metal, warm wood and tactile leather gives the chair a sense of well-traveled, understated glamour.
