About the Item

Charles Dudouyt easy chairs, straw and wood, France, 1940s, set of two. Recalling the turned chair model, Charles Dudouyt created these carved chairs as 'fireside' chairs, hence the low seats. Using playful geometries and construction, he crafted the wooden structure in Art Deco forms. The seats' original straw is preserved and creates a charming contrast with the dark wooden structure. The legs are joined by crosspieces, enhancing the square shape of the design. Dudouyt enriched the typical French straw chair with a timeless design like Charlotte Perriand did in her furniture. Charles Dudouyt (1885-1946) started his career as a woodworker, learning crafting art from his father. He innovated the Art Deco and Modernist eras with his creative approach to furniture design. After studying at the École Boulle in Paris, he honed his skills as designer. He focused on natural materials, carving them in simple, geometric forms and incorporating decorative elements or carved details. Our atelier carefully restored the chairs. Slight signs of use and time.
