About the Item

This chair by French designer, Alain Gaubert is an eye-catching nod to Minimalist design. The construction is as ingeniously simple as it is visually striking. The chair is made of solid oak, and was crafted using just two planes that intersect at the base. The exquisitely spare design of this “Africanist” chair is inspired by (as the name suggests) the “African Guardian” or “Tribal Palaver Chairs”, predominantly from the continent’s western parts. This chair is made with comfort and simplicity in mind and fulfilled roles such as ‘elephant watching’ or birthing. The modern and rustic look stems from the material and the carefully designed, sharp angles. The chair can be folded by taking apart the two parts. Similarly, to the most often decorated predeceasing African chairs, this chair bears the mark of the designer on the back. Condition: In good vintage condition. Dimensions: 15.44 in W x 36.22 in D x 35.62 in H, seat height 8.66 in 39.5 cm W x 92 cm D x 90.5 cm H, seat height 22 cm About the designer: Alain Gaubert is a 20th century Furniture designer, primarily known for his solid wooden designs. From 1964-1969 Gaubert worked at the artisans of Marolles. The French designer then created his own cabinet workshop in 1969 under his own name. The Gaubert workshop continues the production of several of the solid wooden designs of the founder to this day. The famous 17th century Mondoubleau House in France is entirely furnished with Gaubert’s designs. While not a lot is known about the designer, his minimalistic furniture designs have stood the test of time and are still sought after and therefore still being produced by his old workshop in France. Shipping: This “Africanist” chair will be packed and shipped with the greatest care and attention to make sure you will receive the items in gallery condition. Complimentary shipping within the Netherlands.
