About the Item
Sculptural Brutalist Oak Armchair – French Artisan Mastery, 1960s
This powerful Brutalist oak armchair, handcrafted in France during the 1960s, is a commanding example of post-war design that fuses functionalism with raw, sculptural beauty. Boldly architectural in form, the chair is carved from solid oak and showcases the hallmarks of Brutalist aesthetics—honest materials, expressive geometry, and artisanal integrity.
The tall, graphic backrest is composed of sharply cut spindles, forming an arresting silhouette that is both structural and sculptural. Its angular profile, exaggerated proportions, and wide, faceted armrests offer an assertive presence that is visually compelling from every angle. Embracing the texture of hand tools and the natural grain of the oak, the chair resists refinement in favor of authenticity.
Measured at 123 cm in height, 78 cm in depth, and 73 cm in width, this piece is both substantial and functional. The 40 cm seat height ensures comfort while maintaining its monolithic stance. Despite its boldness, it remains ergonomic and surprisingly inviting—a perfect marriage of form and function.
More than just a chair, this is a piece of sculptural furniture that speaks to a time when rural craftsmanship met avant-garde sensibility. Each joint and carved line reflects the maker's hand, resulting in a one-of-a-kind object that resonates with historical character and aesthetic confidence.
Ideal for collectors of mid-century design, Brutalist interiors, or anyone in search of a standout, statement piece. Whether standing alone or complementing other natural materials, this French oak armchair commands attention and elevates any space with its timeless, grounded elegance.
