About the Item

Set of Six Sculptural French Beechwood Chairs, 1950s In the manner of Charlotte Perriand – Alpine Modernism A striking set of six sculptural dining chairs, crafted in France during the 1950s. Made entirely from solid beechwood, these chairs embody the rustic clarity and functional elegance associated with postwar Alpine design. Their form—humble yet bold—bears a strong visual dialogue with the work of Charlotte Perriand and the French modernist tradition. Each chair features a tall, narrow backrest punctuated by a carved horseshoe detail—subtle and symbolic. The slightly concave, octagonal seat rests on four tapered legs with minimal joinery, emphasizing craftsmanship and an economy of form. The wood retains a rich, warm patina developed over time, enhancing their quiet character. Proportioned for comfort yet visually light, the chairs stand at 101 cm tall, with a seat height of 45 cm. Their compact footprint (33 cm wide × 48 cm deep) makes them ideal for intimate dining settings, urban spaces, or curated interiors blending old-world warmth with contemporary restraint. These chairs offer a rare glimpse into the regional craftsmanship of mid-century France, with design cues rooted in the vernacular spirit of the French Alps—natural materials, honest construction, and expressive simplicity. Whether paired with a raw-edge table or placed as occasional seating in a modernist setting, they add sculptural presence and soul. Sold as a set of six. No restoration. Minor wear consistent with age and use. Dimensions (cm): Height: 101 Width: 33 Depth: 48 Seat Height: 45
