Pair of Aluminum + Ash Wood Chairs by George Candilis + Anja Blomstedt, France

About the Item

Pair of chairs designed by George Candilis and Finnish interior designer Anja Blomstedt for a set of holiday furniture that completes the design of the Carrats holiday village. The project by architects Georges Candilis (1913-1995), Georges Wursteisen, Pierre Raoux and Zygmund Knyszewsky covers almost five hectares on the beach, almost at the western end of Port-Leucate. For the Candilis team, the Carrats operation becomes a place of architectural experimentation with a social dimension. Composed of cubic-shaped bungalows, its roof terraces, its patios, collective buildings, the numerous public places (small squares, play areas) allowed the creation of an ideal place where everything was done to tend towards individual and collective happiness. Candilis and Blomstedt had an idea of cheap and very simple furniture that are easy to disassemble and transport, consisting of simple pieces of solid wood or plywood held in place with aluminium angle brackets. The pieces were made and assembled by the Sentou workshops, and only a few hundred pieces of this rare edition remain nowadays. PUBLICATION: hicarquitectura com Georges Candilis Les Carrats 1969
