This purely Greek invention has the timeless, graceful, and refined look that never goes out of style. With the constant quest for beauty and function, beautiful and different interpretations of the popular Klismos have appeared over the years. The curve of the backboard provides a visual relief- and embraces you when you sit. Simply classic!
Originally, it was designed as a light chair that could easily be moved around. It also was popular as a seating option for women as depicted on their pottery

I love how the legs curve in opposite directions...
