Details
Live like a monarch in your home with the Crown Cream Velour Lounge Chair. Handmade by artisans in the UK, our lounge chair is that perfect piece you've been looking for, helping you bring culture and comfort home. The Crown design is a love letter to Black hair symbolized by the iconic Afro Pick - one version of the traditional comb that has been used across the African Diaspora for centuries. The pattern is featured on luxe ChiChi Furnishing Velour fabric that is expertly hand-stitched over a responsibly sourced wooden frame. Tapered legs and plump cushioning make this the perfect accent chair. Celebrate Black culture in your favorite room with the Crown Cream Velour Lounge Chair, and pair it with the Crown Cream Velour Ottoman for extra comfort.
Editors' Note
This piece is part of AphroChic's Crown Collection, which celebrates the beauty of Black hair culture through the image of the iconic Afro Pick. Combs of this type have been a part of African culture for centuries, with some of the oldest examples dating to ancient Egypt and Sudan. Called Ilarun or "hair parting combs" in Yoruba, these combs were traditionally decorated in numerous cultures to display the owner's economic status or group membership, along with various spiritual meanings. In the U.S. these combs, re-dubbed as "picks" became symbols of resistance and cultural liberation, frequently decorated with the Black Power fist. From bantu knots and locs to braids, weave and afro puffs, our hair is our crown. For thousands of years these combs have been the tools we use to shape it; and whatever the style, we wear it proudly.
