The morris armchair was invented by the englishman william morris in the late nineteenth century. It refers to a type of seat whose backrest is reclinable thanks to an ingenious rack system. Originally, its rectilinear and refined structure, made of traditional materials, is inspired by the arts and crafts style. The flat, reclining and rectangular backrest consists of a series of horizontal slats. The large flat armrests overhanging extend to the back of the backrest. At their end is a rack with notches where a wooden or brass bar is inserted. The latter serves as a support for the backrest and thus allows the adjustment of its inclination. The arms are perforated with vertical bars or spindles. The front feet usually fall flat. Size- Weight: 20 kilograms. Total height: 106 centimeters highest position, 77 centimeters lowest position.
