About the Item
A rare sofa or daybed by Maison Regain, crafted in France during the 1970s. Constructed from solid elm, the frame highlights the studio’s signature construction—stacked wood banding, squared edges, and exposed joinery without visible hardware. The design is spare yet substantial, with bold architectural lines and a low, grounded profile.
Original checkered wool-blend cushions in shades of chocolate brown and ivory provide generous, structured comfort. Equally suited as a sculptural seating piece or minimalist daybed
Maison Regain emerged in the late‑1970s Provençal design scene as a quiet workshop devoted to solid French elm and exacting, hand‑cut joinery. Produced in small, highly controlled batches, each table, sideboard, and low‑slung chair bears the subtle hallmarks of its maker—dovetail seams finished with beeswax, surfaces burnished to a honeyed glow by decades of southern light.
Active through the late 1980s, Maison Regain collaborated with designers Alain Ladroit, Luigi Gorgoni, and Roland Haeusler, and was commissioned by Charlotte Perriand for the Les Arcs ski resort.
Because the atelier’s output never chased mass distribution, surviving examples remain scarce—most passing directly from original owners to a new generation of connoisseurs. That rarity, paired with the pieces’ architectural honesty and enduring materials, is now drawing the attention of top‑tier collectors and interior designers who recognize future classics before the wider market does. The Maison’s enduring qualities are what design historians now cite when positioning Maison Regain alongside the period’s most collectible masters.
Today, Maison Regain stands as a touchstone of French craftsmanship: functional forms distilled to their elemental beauty, enriched by regional provenance, and destined for enduring cultural and investment value.
