About the Item
This pair of French Brutalist armchairs from the 1960s exemplifies the bold, architectural character of the movement, where raw materiality and sculptural form took precedence over ornamentation. Emerging as a response to post-war reconstruction, Brutalist design in furniture mirrored the qualities of Brutalist architecture: strong, unembellished, and expressive of its materials. French designers of the period embraced this ethos, creating pieces that were simultaneously practical, durable, and visually commanding.
These chairs, with their use of imposing silhouettes and striking combination of wood and textile, embody the spirit of French mid-century design. The armchairs are defined by their robust, solid wooden frames, with angled legs and broad armrests that emphasize strength and stability. The wood reveals visible grain patterns and organic knots, celebrating the inherent qualities of the material while adding depth and texture to the overall form. Upholstered in a rich red mohair, the seats and backs complement the earthy tone of the wood. The mohair enhances their tactile appeal, its surface catching light and representing one of the only decorations of the pair, while also ensuring a deep sense of comfort. Together, the generous cushioning and architectural structure create a dialogue between softness and austerity, hallmarks of Brutalist design. Their commanding form allow them to stand alone as sculptural statements, yet as a pair their presence amplifies within an interior.
As a pair, these armchairs epitomise the enduring appeal of Brutalism in interiors, combining durability, material honesty, and strength. They stand as both functional seating and collectible design objects, capturing the essence of an era that sought to redefine beauty through simple authenticity.

Pair of "Edouard" Armchairs by Guillerme et Chambron, France 1960s
By Guillerme et Chambron, Votre Maison
Located in Utrecht, NL
The “Edouard” lounge chair is often described as a “caquetoire”, or a conversation chair. This type of seating was an armchair style which emerged during the European Renaissance in France.
As the name suggests, this type of chair was meant for sitting for elongated periods to chat. Generally, these chairs were also highly regarded for their aesthetic value as well, which can also be said about these exceptional chair models. The “Edouard” is a sculptural model with a blonde oak frame that is characteristic of the French designer duo. The design showcases the wide variety of shapes and forms of the solid oak frames, from the curving lines to the straighter spindles comprising the backrests. Naturally, a conversation chair needs to be first and foremost functional and comfortable, therefore the backs are slightly tilted, and the seat raised, aided by the generous seat and back cushions. The French caquetoire chairs...
