Set of Six 20th Century Chairs by Joseph Savina

About the Item

Set of six solid oak and leather chairs by Joseph Savina(1901-1983), Sculptor and cabinetmaker born in Bretagne, France. ca 1940s Joseph Savina (1901-1983), a talented Breton cabinetmaker and sculptor, played a key role in the Seiz Breur art movement, which drew significant inspiration from the Arts and Crafts movement. He became the leading woodworker within the group and set up his own workshop in Tréguier, France. Savina's close partnership with the famous architect Le Corbusier was particularly notable. Le Corbusier entrusted him with crafting some of his sculptures, highlighting Savina's exceptional ability to transform traditional regional furniture into modern, innovative designs. Their collaboration began in 1935, sparking a lasting friendship based on mutual respect and admiration. The two often exchanged ideas, with Corbusier especially appreciating the "sense of plasticity" in Savina's work. Additionally, Savina created carvings inspired by Corbusier's designs.
