Model "103" Oak Chair by René Gabriel, France 1940s

About the Item

René Gabriel was instrumental in shaping the French design landscape during the mid-century era. His emphasis on quality craftsmanship and the use of noble materials like oak has left a lasting imprint on the world of furniture design. The design of this chair model boasts an ingeniously functional and well-thought-out structure, crafted from quality oak. It holds a natural expression with its airy design, which is dominated by the beauty of the material. The openness of the piece is highlighted by the four slender slats of the backrest and the slender legs. The simple, functional design make this chair stand out with a timeless appeal. At the heart of this piece is the use of dark oak, a material renowned for its durability and longevity, as well as its unique charm. Its organic colour makes it easy to adapt to almost any interior, and the design is perfect to add that coveted mid-century flair. Wood has never gone out of style, and pieces with an emphasis on a natural look are only gaining popularity today. This oak chair is equally striking standing alone, or as part of an interior with a medley of styles. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some small marks and scratches on the wood.
