Werriwa Double Lounge Chair

The Werriwa is one of our most appreciated designs; it’s superbly comfortable, beautifully crafted, looks “right” and is easy to alight from. The judges at the 2009 Furniture Industry Association of Australia’s “Australian Furniture of the Year Awards” were unanimous in their praise for the Werriwa, awarding it “Excellence in Furniture Using Leather”. The Werriwa was also awarded Open Champion at the Sydney Timber and Working with Wood Show in 2006 for craftsmanship and design.

“I have just bought three hand-made [Werriwa] chairs from Evan. They are beautiful and unbelievably comfortable to sit in, this is a great Canberra enterprise” Peter D, Hughes, ACT, 2015.

The  Werriwa Double Lounge chair is that rarest of beasts; a comfortable two seater. Why are so many modern lounges too low, too deep and made from inferior materials? Our Werriwas are fully maintainable and come with a lifetime guarantee on the workmanship and materials (like all our chairs). The height and depth of the double Werriwa can be customised to suit an individual’s needs. Like all our chairs, the support and shaping of the back is provided by flexible laminated timber slats. The seat is supported by a combination of Pirelli webbing and upholstery foam. We use the finest full grain leather for our upholstery.

The Werriwa Lounge was designed in 2005 and has been in small batch production ever since. We carry limited stock of finished frames and usually build-to-order. Over the years, we have made Werriwas for clients in blackwood, jarrah, red gum, red stringybark, white oak and American walnut.

Dimensions: 1050mm H x 800mm D (footprint) x 1500mm W
Timber Types: blackwood and jarrah. Other timbers by request (POA). Leather colour of your choice.
