About the Item

Designed in 1953 by Jacques Guillon, the Cord Chair is a hallmark of mid-century modern design. Its form is defined by three U-shaped maple wood elements and a seat and backrest made from tightly strung nylon cords, emphasizing both lightness and structural clarity. Celebrated as an icon of Canadian modernism, the Cord Chair stands out for its innovative use of materials and minimalist aesthetic. This set of two offers sculptural presence and lasting comfort, making them a versatile addition to interiors ranging from contemporary to vintage-inspired spaces.
