About the Item

This set of four chairs, reminiscent of Charlotte Perriand's iconic Bauche No. 19 Chairs for BCB, stand as a testament to the exquisite blend of modernism and nature. Crafted with a keen eye for harmony, these chairs encapsulate the spirit of contemporary design while embracing the organic beauty of nature. At the heart of the design are the seats and backs, woven intricately with great skill. The choice of straw as the primary material lends a distinct organic touch, infusing warmth and natural grace into the chairs. The straw weaving, meticulously entwined, not only provides a comfortable seating experience but also serves as a nod to traditional craftsmanship and a connection to nature. Contrasting the softness of the woven seats, the solid wood frames exhibit striking geometric precision. The clean lines and box stretchers give the chairs a distinctly modern edge, evoking a sense of order and structure. The juxtaposition of the soft, organic straw against the rigid geometry of the wooden frames creates a visual dialogue, where modernism and nature engage in a harmonious dance. The choice of solid wood further emphasizes the durability and timelessness of the chairs. The natural grains and textures enhance the overall aesthetic appeal, adding a touch of warmth to the modern design. The box stretchers not only contribute to the chairs' stability but also serve as architectural elements, accentuating the geometric theme. As a set, these chairs embody the philosophy of balance and unity, where modern design seamlessly coexists with the inherent beauty of nature. The synthesis of the woven straw and solid wood frames creates a captivating visual and tactile experience, inviting individuals to engage with the chairs on both an aesthetic and functional level. In paying homage to the legacy of Guido Chiappe and Charlotte Perriand, these chairs stand as a testament to the enduring allure of design that bridges the gap between the modern and the natural.
