Michel Boyer for Rouve Rare Pair of "X" Stainless Steel and White Leather Stools
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.

- Seating as Minimalist Sculpture, 4 Elements by Uredat, 1969, Mohair UpholsteryBy Klaus Uredat, CORLocated in bergen op zoom, NLAmazing, museum quality, modular 'CORBI' seating set, composed of four elements, designed by Klaus Uredat for 'COR', Germany, 1969 complete with the original purchase invoice dated 1972. After receiving many requests to do so, we have carefully unpicked and removed the original custom order pop art upholstery and have now recovered the set in a more neutral, high quality mohair upholstery. A rare, beautiful and highly sculptural pure elemental design, the large dimensions of each .Corbi' seating element allow for them to be used equally as either individual lounge chairs or as a modular sofa. This particular set is a must for serious collectors, this set comes complete with the original German purchase invoice from 1972, which also confirms the additional expense of the custom order upholstery, we have carefully unpicked and kept the original upholstery fabric should the buyer wish to retain it for provenance (please see photos 14 and 15 which illustrate the set with it's original upholstery). The sculptural 'Corbi' modular lounge chair was designed in 1969 and only remained in limited scale production for a few years up to circa 1974. Today this super elegant design is both very popular and now extremely difficult to find due to the passage of time and the limited total production numbers so a large set of elements such as this, is really a rare opportunity. Each 'Corbi' element is composed of two independent Minimalist sculptural forms, one base element and one cylindrical seat back. With the base elements positioned end to end, day beds may...Category
