Pair of Sculptural Brutalist Oak Lounge Chairs, France, 1960s

About the Item

Pair of Sculptural Brutalist Oak Lounge Chairs, France, 1960s This exceptional pair of lounge chairs embodies the raw elegance and rugged charm of the Brutalist design movement, fused with traditional French Alpine craftsmanship. Made in France during the 1960s, the chairs are a striking representation of functional sculpture—bold, geometric, and deeply expressive in their form. Crafted from solid oak, each chair features a gently reclined profile with wide, slatted seats and thick, contoured backrests. The distinctive cut-out detail in the backrest not only adds visual interest but also echoes the artisanal nature of mid-century French woodworking. The sturdy frame, supported by angular stretchers and generous proportions, reflects a design built for durability and comfort, while also showcasing the natural grain and warmth of the wood. These chairs draw inspiration from the work of Charlotte Perriand and the rustic modernism of the French Alps—where furniture was designed to harmonize with its environment. Their sculptural form and robust silhouette make them ideal for a chalet-style interior, mountain lodge, or any contemporary space seeking a natural yet architectural statement piece. Whether placed in a reading nook, beside a fireplace, or paired with a low table, these chairs offer not only comfort but also a distinct design presence. The patina of the oak has aged beautifully, bringing out the rich texture and depth of the wood. In good vintage condition, these chairs represent a rare find for collectors and design enthusiasts seeking authenticity, craftsmanship, and timeless character.
