About the Item
Sculptural Mid-Century Armchair in Solid Oak, France, 1950s — 1 Available
A striking piece of French mid-century craftsmanship, this sculptural armchair from the 1950s blends rustic strength with flowing organic form. Crafted entirely from solid oak, the chair is defined by its gently curved arms, broad slatted backrest, and deep contoured seat—all designed for comfort and visual rhythm.
The natural oak grain is prominently featured throughout, with a rich, golden patina that has developed over time. The wood’s expressive texture is enhanced by the hand-shaped quality of each component—from the elegantly scooped seat to the uniquely contoured backrest that creates a subtle play of negative space.
Sturdy yet refined, the chair’s construction reflects traditional woodworking techniques with visible joints and thoughtful proportions. The seat and backrest feature thick, sculpted oak planks, slightly angled to invite a relaxed posture. The wide-set stance and stable structure make it equally suitable as a lounge chair, accent piece, or even a statement reading chair in a rustic-modern or wabi-sabi interior.
Measuring 72 cm wide by 72 cm deep, with a height of 83 cm and a seat height of 37 cm, the chair offers generous comfort while retaining a compact silhouette. This is a rare, one-of-a-kind find that captures the French mid-century ethos of honest materiality and sculptural integrity.
