Pair of French Red + White Metal Chairs by Claude Adrien for M.A.M, 1950s

About the Item

A rare pair of metal armchairs designed by Claude Adrien for Edition Meubles Artistiques Modernes (M.A.M.) in the 1950s. Capturing the spirit of mid-century French industrial design, they feature tubular aluminum frames with exaggerated, angled arms finished in bold red. The perforated white sheet metal seats and backs lend an airy, almost translucent quality. Well-suited for both indoor and outdoor settings. Claude Adrien was a visionary force in mid-century French design, merging industrial strength with artistic expression. Best known for his collaborations with Edition Meubles Artistiques Modernes (M.A.M.) in the 1950s, Adrien's work captured the essence of French modernism—bold, functional, and uncompromisingly minimal. His designs, often defined by tubular aluminum frames and perforated sheet metal, embody a sleek industrial aesthetic with a sculptural touch. Condition: Fair vintage condition, with age related wear. While our vintage garden furniture, decor, and lighting were originally used as indoor/outdoor, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, rain, extreme humidity, heat, cold, or wet climates can lead to natural aging, fading, and potential deterioration. We recommend using protective covers when not in use and storing items indoors during adverse weather or cold winters. Stone and other durable materials will develop a unique patina and character but may also weather and change color when left outdoors for extended periods. Some wear and tear is expected and adds to the vintage charm of your garden decor. South Loop Loft is not liable for cracks and fissures that occur on natural stone, either vintage or contemporary, in freeze/thaw environments or environments with excessive heat or moisture. By purchasing from South Loop Loft, you acknowledge that our Garden products require appropriate care to ensure longevity and optimal performance across different climates.
