About the Item
This striking pair of chairs, attributed to Léopold Gest, embodies a bold, sculptural aesthetic. Crafted from black lacquered metal, the chairs feature tall, narrow backrests formed by a series of slender vertical rods, lending them a sense of architectural elegance. The graphic linearity of the frames is softened by the black faux leather seats, offering a minimalist yet comfortable sitting experience. The high-back design not only adds a dramatic silhouette but also nods to modernist influences, echoing early 20th-century avant-garde movements. The chairs’ geometric purity and refined materials make them perfect statement pieces for contemporary or mid-century interiors. Though modest in size, they possess a strong visual presence, combining functional seating with sculptural form. A beautiful example of understated mid-century European design, this pair reflects a timeless appreciation for clean lines and material simplicity.
Léopold Gest was a mid-20th-century European designer known for his sculptural, linear furniture in metal and leather, merging functional minimalism with bold, architectural forms inspired by modernist aesthetics.
Good condition, some painting losses. More information Upon Request.
