Mush!

Design Samare, Canada

A Canadian cultural emblem with a decidedly contemporary twist, MUSH! is a lounge chair which takes its shape and inspiration from the traditional dog sleigh.
The steel base is formed like runner skis ready to glide on snow, the back support as a brush bow. The beautiful seating surface is constructed from a single continuous babiche weaving. Brought forward by the native tribes of eastern Canada babiche describes the natural leather hide most commonly used in the lacing of snowshoes, the method of transportation used most often by hunters and trappers during the wintertime for centuries. Known for its natural resistance, the material is handcrafted using ancestral methods of fabrication, the design follows traditional aboriginal patterns. This vernacular technique of treating and weaving animal hide has been elevated to a deservedly noble status. 

Also available, GLIDE side table. GLIDE and MUSH! are handmade in Canada.
