“Fauteuil de Paquebot” Chair, France 1950s
About the Item
This iconic “Fauteuil de Paquebot” (also known as a “boat chair” or “cruise chair”) is a striking piece of mid-century design with historical significance. Originally used as deck chairs on luxury cruise liners in the 1950s, this single chair combines practicality, functionality, and timeless elegance.
Crafted from exotic wood, the chair features a beautifully curved armrest that seamlessly extends into the back and front legs, creating a continuous, flowing line. The design is balanced by square backrests, seat, and legs, providing a contrast to the organic curves of the armrests. The woven cane accents on the seat and backrest further elevate the aesthetic, enhancing the chair’s understated luxury.
For an updated, sophisticated touch, the chair has been reupholstered with fabric from the renowned French textile producer, Pierre Frey. This premium fabric enhances the chair’s luxurious appeal, offering a blend of durability and refined elegance that complements the exotic wood and cane features.
The compact design, with short legs and a gently reclined backrest, makes this chair ideal for lounging, whether on a boat or in any stylish home setting. The wood has developed a gorgeous patina over time, and the chair exudes a sense of history, making it not only a functional seating option but a conversation starter.
