About the Item

There was something of a design renaissance in France in the decades following the Second World War, due to developments in materials and technology. French designers were often also architects, whose focus on functionality and quality resulted in beautiful models, such as this armchair. With its classic shape paired with modern design elements, this armchair model combines the best characteristics of the mid-century era. It has a classic shape with soft curves. The rounded lines create an inviting and open look, enhanced by the premium upholstery that is undoubtedly its main visual feature. The fabric is simple, stylish and elegant, contributing to the chair’s overall plush aesthetic while offering the sitter a tactile experience. The fully-upholstered wooden frame rests on dark wood legs. The tapered splayed back legs support the chair, and provide visual contrast to the upholstery. Armchairs in particular have become unrivalled reference points in mid-century modern design. Most may seem similar at first sight, however, each model’s individuality becomes evident upon closer inspection. For instance, from every single angle, this armchair offers a stunning silhouette and rich texture. This armchair is not just functional; it embodies the warmth and sophistication of 1950s design, making it a charming and practical addition to any room. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chair has been reupholstered recently in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be reupholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.
