Mobichalet Brutalist set of 6 chairs with signature Corrugated staples 1950
About the Item
Mobichalet, founded by the teacher turned cabinetmaker Joseph Deffense in Beauraing, Belgium, in 1950, had been active a decade, aiming at furnishing second homes with rustic furnitures, which left a sought after legacy of strikingly powerful and peculiar handcrafted brutalist pieces.
The six chairs forming this set are extreme examples of Mobichalet style : big solid slabs of oak wood are assembled to create an ensemble of chairs of similar but variable dimensions, with thick cuboid headrests and a simple construction. Dimensions vary in the following ranges :
Depth : 44-46 cm (approx. 17 1/3-18 1/8 inches)
Width : 31-38 cm (approx. 12 1/4-15 1/8 inches)
Height : 85-88 cm (approx. 33 1/2-34 2/3 inches)
Seat height : 47-49 cm (approx. 18 1/2-19 1/3 inches)
A noteworthy detail : five out of the six chairs feature heavy corrugated staples on the seat piece's front and back ; used in woodworking as a splitting prevention, they are here in particular an unmissable and typically brutalist signature of the Mobichalet production.

- Mobichalet Brutalist set of 4 Solid Wood Chairs 1960By MobichaletLocated in Santa Gertrudis, BalearesMobichalet, founded by a teacher turned cabinetmaker named Joseph Deffense in Beauraing, Belgium, in 1950, had been active a decade, aiming at furnishing second homes with rustic furnitures, which left a sought after legacy of strikingly powerful and peculiar handcrafted brutalist pieces. The chairs forming this set are typical of the designer : the seat itself is a solid slab of pine wood, the headrest is thick, a simple rectangular cuboid, and, as expected in a brutalist design, the construction is very simple yet efficient and sturdy with no sharp angles. This extremely nice set features an homogeneous seat height and very good backrest angle through all the chairs, ensuring an unexpected and consistent comfort. Under the seat, as illustrated in the pictures, the brand logo is directly carved - or drilled - in the wood with large stencil...Category
