After receiving the honor of the Golden Chair award, designer Fredrik Mattson crafted this opulent chair coated in real gold.
Luxurious chairs made of real wood waste upwards of 70% of the wood since artists and designers strive to use only blemish- and knot-free wood. Fredrik Mattson is leading the advocacy of utilizing varnished surfaces to hide any flaws in the wood. On the Golden Chair, Mattson used a 24 carat gold varnish.
To help eliminate deforestation, using gold is a total green choice.
The engraved little heart on the side makes it that much more charming!
