About the Item

This mid-century French armchair combines a visually stunning structural body with expert caning technique and high-quality materials. From all sides, this chair’s angles are visually arresting, revoking the chairs created by the Swiss architect, Pierre Jeanneret for Chandigarh in India. As with the UK and much of Europe, there was something of a design renaissance in France in the 1950s, due to developments in materials and technology after the war. In France, designers were often also architects, whose focus on functionality and quality resulted in sculptural models, such as this armchair. This model is all about the gorgeous teak structure and the cane panels. Pure, sleek forms, free from artifice or decoration characterise the aesthetic; a style that is commonly referred to as reconstructivism. A reconstructivist design builds upon prior, deconstructionist models and techniques, but adapts them to classic themes and structures, with the goal of creating works of genuine emotion and significance. The body features octagonal mesh cane webbing, which is an elegant material that enhances quality and complements the teak wood. Cane webbing is strong enough to support the weight of a sitting person and flexible enough to bend around the sharp corners of wooden frames. Production of cane webbing requires a lot of labour, attention and craftsmanship and every production step involves repetitive careful hand selection. The cane panels are original and in great condition, testifying to the outstanding quality of this armchair and the skill of its maker. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Original cane panels. The wood has beautiful patina. Dimensions: 25.59 in W x 34.64 in D x 31.88 in H; Seat height 11.81 in 65 cm w x 88 cm D x 81 cm H; Seat height 30 cm Shipping: This armchair will be packed and shipped with the greatest care to make sure you will receive the item in the gallery condition. Complimentary shipping within the Netherlands.
