About the Item

Introducing the stunning pair of geometrically structured armchairs designed by the renowned Georges CANDILIS (1913-1995) and Anja BLOMSTEDT (b. 1937) for Les Carrats holliday village in 1969. The chairs are made by SENTOU. Made in only a few hundred, especially made for the Les Carrats project, these very rare ash armchairs are a true masterpiece of design. The armchairs feature a unique geometric structure in ash wood, creating an eye-catching and modern silhouette. The beige fabric stretched over the seat and back adds a touch of elegance and comfort, while the base, composed of uprights connected by aluminum connectors, provides stability and durability. With measurements of H 68 x L 67 x P 60 cm (H 26 3/4 x W 26 3/8 x D 23 5/8 in), these armchairs are the perfect size to complement any living space. The combination of ash wood, aluminum elements, and white fabric upholstery creates a simple, raw, yet sophisticated look that will enhance any interior style. These armchairs are in excellent condition, showcasing the quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design that Georges CANDILIS and Anja BLOMSTEDT are renowned for. Don't miss the opportunity to own this exceptional pair of armchairs, adding a touch of timeless elegance and modern flair to your home. Candilis and Blomstedt, who also worked with modernist designer Charlotte Perriand at the time, had an idea of cheap and very simple furniture that are easy to disassemble and transport. The Le Carrats furniture consist of simple pieces of solid wood or plywood held in place with aluminium angle brackets. The pieces were made and assembled by the Sentou workshops, and the rare edition of only a few hundred pieces was solely intended for Les Carrats holiday village.
