René Gabriel Oak "Reconstruction" Chairs, France 1946

About the Item

René Gabriel Oak "Reconstruction" chairs, France 1946. "Reconstruction" chairs were designed by René Gabriel and manufactured in France circa 1946. Solid Oak wood base and structure in good original condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a various beautiful patina. René Gabriel (1890–1950) was a French decorative artist and designer specializing in furniture series (meuble de série.) He had a clean, logical style that inspired many new designers in the years after World War II (1939–1945.) The prestigious Prix René Gabriel continues to be awarded to French designers for modern designs that can be mass-produced. When you choose for used midcentury design, you use what is already there, making it sustainable. You may not give the furniture a second, but even a third or fourth life. Mid-century design furniture is often a high-quality product that lasts several lives for a reason. Some furniture has a rich history, and the story is still visible or tangible with some. The signs of wear give a glimpse into the previous owner's life. Twenty chairs available, price per chair.
