About the Item
Pierre Gautier-Delaye “Coffee Bean” Dining Chairs in Stained Beechwood, France, 1960s — Set of 4
A refined expression of French mid-century craftsmanship, this set of four “Coffee Bean” dining chairs by Pierre Gautier-Delaye, designed circa 1965, is a masterclass in understated elegance and functional beauty. Made from stained beechwood, these chairs are modest in scale yet rich in character, reflecting Delaye’s signature blend of artisanal precision and modernist restraint.
Each chair features a seat formed from two organically shaped slats, joined with rounded, cylindrical legs that emphasize structure and integrity. The sculpted backrest is subtly curved and attached to the slender back legs, offering ergonomic support while maintaining a visually light and airy profile. Exposed joinery and gentle proportions speak to the honest construction and deliberate simplicity characteristic of French design in the postwar period.
The chairs measure 41 cm in width and depth, 80 cm in height, with a comfortable seat height of 45 cm — ideal for everyday dining or casual use. The warm patina of the stained beech adds depth and timeless appeal.
This set beautifully complements the Pierre Gautier-Delaye solid beech dining table — available in our other listing — and together they form a cohesive and rare ensemble for collectors, designers, or admirers of authentic mid-century French design.
Delaye, trained at the Paris School of Decorative Arts and once a draughtsman at Raymond Loewy’s studio, went on to develop a distinct design voice rooted in clarity, function, and material honesty. These “Coffee Bean” chairs reflect that vision and remain highly sought after for their restrained sophistication and architectural sensibility.
A truly versatile set that brings subtle elegance and thoughtful craftsmanship to any interior.
