About the Item

Michel Boyer rare pair of architectural 'X' stools or tabourets with stainless steel bases and white leather cushions with central button. These iconic stylish stools were produced by Editions Rouve, France, circa 1968. Michel Boyer was an architect, interior decorator and designer renowned for his ability to incorporate decorative and design elements into preexisting architectural spaces. His best-known works are the interiors of the Rothschild Bank in Paris (1970) and the French Embassy in Washington, D.C. (1975). Many of his clients gave him carte blanche, so he worked with total freedom, creating harmonious spaces where furniture, lamps and other decorative objects embellished the décor. Concerned with production quality, he marketed his own production through the Rouve Gallery. While working abroad, and designing the diplomatic interiors in Washington and Brasilia, he became an ambassador for French design.
