Antique Stinkwood Folding Camping Chair — Riempie Seat

A genuine antique South African folding camping chair, made from stinkwood with a riempie (woven leather thong) seat. 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. Folding camp chairs like this one carry that same portable, practical spirit forward.
