Authentic 1956 Brown Jordan Kantan Arm Chair

Originally designed in 1956 by renowned Japanese designer Tadao Inouye, the Brown Jordan Kantan collection introduced a refined minimalist aesthetic that became one of the brand’s most enduring design achievements. Kantan reflects Inouye’s ability to merge Japanese restraint with California outdoor living, resulting in a collection recognized for its simplicity, balance, and timeless elegance.

This arm chair features a lightweight aluminum frame paired with woven vinyl lace seating, preserving the clean proportions that define the original Kantan design. The frame remains structurally sound and is offered as a custom restoration opportunity through CFR Patio’s factory. Professional powder coat refinishing and new vinyl lace installation are available in your selected colors to restore both appearance and comfort while maintaining the integrity of the original design.

The Kantan collection remains highly regarded among collectors of vintage Brown Jordan furniture for its design significance and lasting visual clarity.
