About the Item

This stunning pair of French modernist lounge chairs, designed in the constructivist spirit of René Gabriel and André Sornay, exemplifies the bold yet functional aesthetic of mid-century French design. With a angular solid wood frame, these chairs showcase expert craftsmanship and a dynamic architectural presence. The elegantly tapered legs and sculptural armrests reflect the influence of post-war "Reconstruction" furniture, known for its clean angular lines and durable construction. The original patinated ochre velvet cushions add a warm, inviting contrast to the rich wood tones, enhancing their vintage charm. In good original condtion, structurally solid. Cushions with light signs of pre-use.
