About the Item

Rare Set of Four Chairs by Janine Abraham for Maison Rougier, France, late 1950s. This model was presented at the 1956 Salon des Artistes Décorateurs. Each chair features a black lacquered metal base supporting a seat and backrest in rattan, wrapped in beige plastic. The set is in original condition, with wear consistent with age and use. A metal plaque “Rougier” is affixed to the back of each chair (see picture). Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts and the École Camondo, Janine Abraham refined her skills working with notable designers such as René-Jean Caillette and Meubles TV. Starting in 1954, she designed an entire line of furniture for Maison Rougier - then still an artisanal company specializing in rattan, including these chairs and the matching table (also available for sale).She later joined the agency of Jacques Dumond, where she met Dirk Jan Rol, who would become her creative and life partner. The matching table pictured is also available for sale.

Set of 4 S34 elmwood chairs by Pierre Chapo, early edition France 1970-1980
By Pierre Chapo
Located in Renens, CH
Beautiful set of 4 S34 dining chairs in solid elmwood by Pierre Chapo. The S34 is today the rarest and most sought after chair design by Pierre Chapo and certainly one of the most sculptural chairs there is. This set is an early edition probably 1970-1980. The S34 chairs embody the spirit of craftsmanship of Pierre Chapo and the elegance of a brutalist design making them a statement piece in any carefully designed interior. They're not just good-looking; they're built to last, which shows Chapo's commitment to making sustainable furniture. Bibliography: Hugues Magen...
