Eva Armchair

Eva Armchair in Malacca |Giovanni Travasa , 1965, Bonacina

The Eva Armchair in Malacca by Niche is a refined indoor piece that balances sculptural warmth with deeply relaxed comfort. The chair reflects a bold interpretation of classic rattan craftsmanship, reimagined through a richly toned, characterful lens.

Its defining silhouette is shaped by a sweeping arc of layered rattan strands that curve fluidly from the low-slung platform base upward through the open sides and into a wide, barrel-shaped backrest — creating a form that feels both enveloping and effortlessly open. The deep Malacca finish lends the rattan a rich, honeyed warmth, adding depth and a sense of age-old craft to every strand. Every curve is intentional — from the splayed rattan supports that cradle the cushion from below to the smooth, continuous arc of the backrest that wraps the body with quiet generosity.

Crafted for indoor environments, the Eva Armchair in Malacca combines the natural resilience of rattan with a distinctly expressive character. Its warm, toasted frame is beautifully offset by a bold graphic cushion — a cream ground with an abstract black linear pattern that adds a contemporary, editorial edge to the piece. A generously cushioned seat provides comfort while maintaining the chair’s low, grounded profile.

More than simply indoor seating, the Eva Armchair in Malacca is designed as a statement piece — one that anchors a space with character and craftsmanship. It embodies Niche’s approach to design: timeless, tactile, and thoughtfully curated for interiors that value both form and feeling.
