About the Item

Rattan Lounge Chair (Footrest) Attributed to Louis Sognot, 1952 This armchair is attributed to Louis Sognot and edited by Chevallier in 1952. This mid 20th century rattan armchair comes with its footrest. It could also be accompanied by cushions as can be seen in the archive images. The height of the seat is 34 cm. Louis Sognot studied at the Bernard Palissy school before working for Jansen where he was taught the basics of traditional cabinet making. He then moved to Krieger and worked on the design of small spaces, such as the cabins of ocean liners, for which he was interested in the functional aspect of the furniture. In 1920, Louis Sognot joined Primavera, which he managed until 1930 with Charlotte Chauvet-Guilleré. Influenced by cubism, his furniture is massive and veneered with beautiful wood. In 1930, he joined the Union of Modern Artists. Seeking to make his productions useful and accessible to all, the decorator builds and invents, integrating modern materials such as duralumin, glass and glass into the design of his furniture. In 1932, Louis Sognot, together with Charlotte Alix, presented the Lakarmé, a light, non-combustible moulded plastic that offered great freedom of form. In 1935, a major commission allowed the two decorators to make a definitive mark on the history of design: the architect Eckart Muthesius built the Maharaja's Palace in Indore and asked them to create various pieces of furniture that would become true masterpieces of the modernist style. That same year, Louis Sognot also collaborated on the fitting out of the liner Normandie, another monument of Art Deco. After the war, in the context of a difficult reconstruction, Louis Sognot sought to develop a clever and functional furniture, chromatic and of good quality, which took into account the recent data concerning the habitat. He thus worked with new or inexpensive materials such as rattan. Louis Sognot will collaborate with Serge Mouille for the lighting, Maurice Rinck and Charles Wagner, who will publish his furniture. He also taught at the Ecole Boulle, the Ecole nationale supérieure des Arts décoratifs and the Ecole de l'Union centrale des Arts décoratifs. His influence spread far beyond his many students.
