About the Item

Set of 6 Brutalist Saddle Chairs in Stained Beech with Patina, France, 1950s This exceptional set of six Brutalist saddle chairs hails from France, dating to the 1950s. Crafted from solid stained beechwood, each chair presents a bold, sculptural presence softened by elegant folkloric details and an extraordinary natural patina developed over decades. The design is grounded in regional Alpine traditions, most notably seen in the heart-shaped cut-out in the backrest—a charming, romantic gesture often associated with rural Savoie or Tyrolean furniture. This handcrafted detail contrasts beautifully with the otherwise austere Brutalist aesthetic, resulting in a unique balance of rustic warmth and architectural strength. Each chair features a saddle-carved seat, ergonomically shaped for comfort and visual flow. The thick, rounded legs are splayed for stability and form a solid base, while the gently curved backrest offers both visual appeal and supportive posture. Subtle tool marks and signs of age across the set celebrate the hand of the maker and reflect the authenticity of mid-century rural French craftsmanship. The stained beechwood has aged into a rich, warm tone with visible knots and grain—each chair offering slight variation in color and wear, adding depth and character to the ensemble. These chairs are as versatile as they are collectible: equally suited for a rustic farmhouse table, a contemporary dining space, or used individually as accent pieces. 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) Sold as a complete set of 6. Highly decorative and rich in material honesty, these chairs are a rare opportunity to own a cohesive set with enduring character and sculptural form.
