Our Greek Key collection is inspired by the Klismos furniture style of ancient Greece and incorporates the timeless design element known as the Greek Key or Meander.
While the earliest Greek furniture was influenced by Egyptian designs, by the 5th century B.C.
Greek furniture makers had developed their own style which is embodied in the classic Klismos chair. As a result, their furniture became less square and rigid and more curved and elegant.
Furthermore, its smooth and flowing shape inspired cultures of the Middle Ages and the early 19th Century to revive the concept.
