About the Item
Pair of rare geometrical chairs by Éditions Trans, France, 1980.
These striking chairs embody the bold, sculptural language of French postmodern design, reducing the chair to a play of sharp planes and pure volumes. Their architectural presence blurs the line between furniture and functional art, making them as much conversation pieces as seating.
Crafted in the early 1980s, these chairs reflect the experimental spirit of the era, when avant-garde French collectives like Éditions Trans challenged traditional notions of comfort and form. Their minimal geometric composition in black lacquered metal enhances their radical aesthetic.
An exceptional and collectible example of French postmodern design, these chairs are ideal for design-led interiors, or collectors seeking rare pieces from the experimental European design movements of the late 20th century.
