Time-warp and become an estate owner in a comfortable Plantation-style chair.

Everybody loves a bit of comfort, especially after a hard week at work or school, so rest your legs and let the pressures seep into one of the beautifully crafted mahogany and teak pieces from Java Deor, 5 South Avenue, Kingston 10. Let the professional interior designer guide you in customising.

The plain but very strong cotton duct material used by many designers can be dyed to suit your colour preference. We suggest the unbleached white, as you can mix and match your choice of pillow colours to change your design now and again.
