Please note that the back rest of the chair to the right has sun fading. The reddish/pink straps have faded from scarlet red as evidenced when these straps are viewed from the reverse. One of these straps has a tiny tear approximately 2mm long to the top edge. The seat appears pale green in the photograph - in reality the seat straps are a richer tone of green. The other chair has some occasional small/minor areas of white to the tops of the side seat rails - possibly where the blue pigment to the straps has very slightly worn away. Each chair retains a firm structure. The two chairs are part of the open edition dating from from 2001-2010
