Riempie seating became a South African classic starting with the 1820 British settlers, who needed lightweight, sturdy chairs for a life on the move — using whatever timber and leather were readily available. This is about as authentic as this style of chair gets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook closely at the joinery pegs and you'll find genuine hand-carved detail — a small carved rosette worked into the dowel head, purely decorative, on a piece of structural joinery that never needed to look this good. The kind of unnecessary care a factory would never bother with, and a real signature of the carpenter who made this chair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine stinkwood construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolding camping chair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal raw hide riempies, softened with age — not a modern replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-carved decorative detail on the joinery dowels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat size: 45cm x 32cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 30cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49830350520562,"sku":"CAMP-003","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/8776\/7282\/files\/DSC_8751.jpg?v=1784744127","url":"https:\/\/www.streampunk.co.za\/products\/antique-stinkwood-folding-camping-chair-original-raw-hide-riempies-no-3","provider":"Streampunk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
