CRUSOË
Flinder Braided Banana Leaf Teak Wood Chair
The Flinder chair by Crusoë is an indoor accent and dining chair made with a solid teak wood frame and a seat and backrest of hand-braided banana leaf, with the back braids converging in a radial pattern at the center. It measures 21.75 in (55 cm) wide, 21.75 in (55 cm) deep, and 34.25 in (87 cm) high, and is intended for use as seating in indoor living, dining, and lounge spaces. Because the braiding and assembly are done by artisanal methods, weave pattern and fiber color vary slightly from chair to chair, and online orders ship directly from the supplier separately from regular Simons products.

Adding natural elegance and exotic flair to your indoor decor
Use this chair as a statement piece to bring a touch of natural elegance and exotic flair to indoor decor. Its banana leaves are braided in a sophisticated design on a solid teak wood frame, blending warm, luxurious materials. The retailer describes it as an ideal pick for this look rather than a tested outcome.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Flinder Braided Banana Leaf Teak Wood Chair: Choose this if you want a statement dining chair that pairs a solid teak frame with a braided banana-leaf seat and back, which the retailer describes as adding natural elegance to indoor decor. It comes in one size, measuring about 21.75 inches (55 cm) wide and deep and 34.25 inches (87 cm) high, with a rounded woven backrest and round honey-toned teak legs. Because each chair is made by artisanal methods and is unique, slight imperfections can occur, which the seller frames as marks of authenticity.[1,2] | Ubud Woven Seat Teak Wood Bench: Choose this if you want a compact accent bench (23.5 inches long by 15.75 inches deep by 17.75 inches high) with a minimalist look, pairing a warm medium-brown teak frame with a handwoven natural-fiber seat. It suits shoppers drawn to artisan craftsmanship — the seat is hand-woven in natural fibers by expert artisans in Indonesia, creating a dense pattern the brand describes as comfortable and reflective of ancestral heritage — and the teak is Grade A, which the brand says guarantees exemplary durability and exceptional natural resistance. Note the small footprint and flat rectangular seat make it a statement piece rather than a large-seating option, so it fits best where a compact, textured accent is the goal.[3,4,5] | Riopel Mindi Wood And Rattan Bench: Choose this if you want a handcrafted low bench for indoor use, with organic curves in Mindi wood showing beautiful shades and contrasting woven rattan seat panels in a warm honey-brown finish; it measures about 47.25 inches long, 15.75 inches deep, and 17.75 inches high. It's handcrafted by artisans in Indonesia using artisanal methods, so each piece is unique and slight imperfections are framed as marks of authenticity. Note that Mindi wood is moderately durable (rated three out of five) and softer than denser hardwoods like oak or teak, so it suits furniture protected from the elements.[6,7,8,9] |
