Pair of rattan armchairs with Target back – McGuire style

Pair of rattan armchairs with Target back in the McGuire style

A pair of rattan armchairs with the recognisable Target motif in the backrest: a black ring with a cross of rattan poles, secured at the crossings with rattan peel bindings. The generously curved armrests sweep forward gracefully from the back; all joints are wrapped in rattan peel. Shape, proportions and details follow the design of the famous McGuire Target chair from San Francisco (armchair model M-59) exactly, down to the dense weaving where the armrest meets the back. The chairs carry no McGuire plaque or label and are therefore described as in the McGuire style. The seats have loose cushions with an earth-tone print in African style, tied to the frame with ribbons.

Why we chose this piece

The armchairs are sturdy and have a warm, honey-coloured patina. The Target motif gives them a graphic, timeless look, whether placed at the ends of a dining table or used as individual chairs.

Style and interior

Lovely at a dining table, at a desk or as a seating corner in a conservatory, in a boho, coastal or Hollywood Regency interior. With new cushions in linen, bouclé or a bold print you can give them a look of their own.
