Carved Mandala Accent Chair.

An accent arm chair in mango wood with a hand-carved circular mandala panel forming the chair back — intricate lotus-and-scroll fretwork visible through the chair. Distressed whitewash finish with the carving edges rubbed back to warm wood.

Curved scroll arms, square tapered legs.

A form built for hours, not minutes: the sitting lasts, and the timber takes the weight without comment.
