About the Item

Brutalist Saddle Chair in Stained Beech with Patina, France, 1950s – 24 Available, Priced per Chair An outstanding collection of 24 Brutalist saddle chairs, handcrafted in France during the 1950s. These sculptural chairs are carved from solid stained beechwood and each one features a stunning, rich patina developed naturally over time. The weathered surface reveals the grain, age, and integrity of the material, embodying the soulful character of mid-century Alpine design. The chairs showcase a distinctive saddle-shaped seat, sculpted for comfort and form, supported by four thick, slightly splayed legs. The elegantly curved backrest includes a heart-shaped cut-out—an iconic folk motif often found in rustic mountain regions such as Savoie or Tyrol. This detail adds a layer of charm and traditional craftsmanship, softening the strong Brutalist lines of the overall silhouette. Each chair is entirely unique, with subtle variations in grain, stain, and wear, reflecting their authentic use and handmade origin. The beechwood has aged into a beautiful tone ranging from golden honey to deep walnut, depending on exposure and wear—ideal for interiors that celebrate natural materials and aged finishes. These chairs are sold individually and can be grouped according to your project needs—whether for a long communal dining table, hospitality setting, or as characterful side chairs. Their blend of rustic authenticity and sculptural form makes them highly collectible. Dimensions (each chair): Height: 87 cm (34.25 in) Width: 59 cm (23.2 in) Depth: 40 cm (15.75 in) Seat Height: 44 cm (17.3 in) 24 available. Price is per chair. Timeless and deeply expressive, these Brutalist chairs embody the warmth, function, and craftsmanship of a bygone era—perfect for both rustic and modern interiors.
