Hayat Roorkee Campaign Safari Chair, 1960

This original Hayat Roorkee Campaign Safari chair from the 1960s is in first-class condition. The black leather has almost no visible signs of wear. The wooden frame in a beautiful teak tone is in very good condition. One of the struts was replaced in the past. The tensioning cables are all in order, all fittings are solid and undamaged. Exceptionally good piece.


The Safari Roorkee chair was developed in 1933 by Hayat Brothers in Pakistan for British officials and was used on safaris. Hayat developed a model that could be dismantled quickly, but was still stable and comfortable. High-quality materials such as rosewood, mahogany or teak and the best leather were used.
