The former Armchair of Mr Sharma, Wooden Mike, who is now likely to get one of his legs broken in the coming weeks by Mr Sharma’s potato son, did an interview with Rosewood Magazine on the surge in decreasing respect, and security for chairs in India.

“I think it’s high time that we burn our woods to throw some light on the security of Chairs in India.” Wooden Mike said in the interview on Sunday.

Mike suggested that the law should take action against the mass production of chairs in order to keep the luxury value of the wooden chairs. He also mentioned that it will also make people less prone to break it and they will handle it more carefully.

Such a change can devastate people with lower wages who want to own a wooden chair. Recent factors like the pandemic, inflation in the market and high gas prices, have made people cut their expenses already. And with this legalisation people with lower incomes can find it more difficult to own a wooden chair.

A report made public by Pine Organisation in 2019, stated that “Such efforts can create a parallel system for furniture in which one system produces good quality products only for high wagers, while the lesser quality falls on the lower-income people,” the report added, “in some cases, poor individuals can completely lose access to quality furniture.”

“Wooden chairs were never meant for poor people. The chair has been a symbol of dignity, an emblem of authority, since antiquity,” Mike said. He also pressured the thought of making the wooden chair a representation of royalty, rather than a daily use item. He wants the wooden chair to have a reputation like a diamond. The way controlling the production controls the price of a diamond, the same way it will have its effect on chairs.

“Nobody says it will affect poor people when it comes to diamonds, so why to bother for chairs,” Mike replied when he asked about the psychological effects of the control in production on less-earning people.

Wooden Mike also made Rosewood Magazine aware of the difficult situation wooden chairs are in because of their wide availability. People are more prone to throw the chair rather than recycle it, they are preferring modern designs rather than hand-carved designs. Which makes the vintage wooden chairs difficult to survive for a longer period.

“I don’t stand against the protests by plastic and fibre chairs, it’s their right, but I’m sure it will change some things, and those changes will eventually be good for us.” Mike ended the interview on this note.
