About the Item

Set of Four Chairs by René Gabriel, Solid Oak, France, 1950s Original Designs from the French Reconstruction Movement An emblem of post-war resilience and clarity, this set of four solid oak chairs was designed by René Gabriel, one of the foremost figures of the French Reconstruction period. Created in the early 1950s, these pieces embody Gabriel’s democratic vision: design that is accessible, essential, and enduring. With their slatted seats and backs, squared frame, and elegantly curved rear legs, the chairs reflect Gabriel’s pursuit of functional integrity over stylistic excess. They were part of a state-supported movement to furnish a recovering nation—practical yet beautiful objects, designed to restore dignity to daily life. Executed in solid oak, the chairs have been finished in Jada Galerie’s signature bleaching technique, a gentle process that reveals the wood’s original grain while preserving the soul of its material history. The softened tone lends them a quiet modernity—inviting them into contemporary interiors without erasing their past. Visible joinery, aged hardware, and minor surface traces attest to their authenticity. Structurally sound and remarkably well-preserved, the set stands as a tactile testament to Gabriel’s ethos: honest design, rooted in care and conviction. Ideal for collectors, historians, or interior designers seeking to anchor a space with post-war provenance and sculptural restraint. Available for private acquisition. For provenance documentation, please contact our specialists.
