About the Item
René Gabriel Oak "Reconstruction" Chairs, France, 1946
The "Reconstruction" chairs were designed by René Gabriel and manufactured in France around 1946. They feature a solid oak wood base and structure, all in good original condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use, showcasing a beautiful patina.
René Gabriel (1890–1950) was a French decorative artist and designer known for his furniture series (meuble de série). His clean and logical style inspired many designers in the years following World War II (1939–1945). The prestigious Prix René Gabriel continues to be awarded to French designers who create modern designs suitable for mass production.
Choosing used mid-century design is a sustainable option, as it utilizes existing resources and gives furniture multiple lives. Mid-century design pieces are often high-quality, ensuring they endure over time. Many of these items carry rich histories, with visible signs of wear that reflect the lives of previous owners.
There are 24 chairs available, each with a unique patina, priced individually per chair.
