About the Item

This French Alpine buffet from the 1950s, crafted from solid oak, embodies the sculptural and functional aesthetics pioneered by Guillerme et Chambron and Charlotte Perriand. Its bold geometric relief panels create a rhythmic interplay of light and shadow, a hallmark of midcentury French craftsmanship. The robust rectilinear frame, paired with traditional joinery techniques, reflects a balance between architectural solidity and refined materiality. Deeply rooted in Alpine woodworking traditions, this piece draws inspiration from the rustic modernist movement, where natural materials were celebrated for their raw beauty. The wrought-iron hardware enhances the authenticity of the design, reminiscent of the artisanal metalwork found in traditional Savoyard interiors. The rich patina of the oak, aged over decades, enhances the depth and character of the wood grain, making this buffet not only a statement of craftsmanship but also a piece that tells a story of time and tradition. A perfect addition to both rustic mountain retreats and contemporary interiors, this sideboard serves as a striking focal point, blending seamlessly with both modernist and traditional design sensibilities. A rare and collectible piece, available for private acquisition. For inquiries regarding provenance, restoration, or placement consultation, we welcome discerning collectors to connect with us.
