Sideboard in Solid Elm, Maison Regain, France, 1970

About the Item

Sideboard in Solid Elm, France, 1970 With its horizontal articulation and serene, architectural bearing, this sideboard conjures the quiet strength of rural modernism. The silhouette is elemental—a monolith softened by its warm, golden patina and the rhythmic repetition of its louvered panels. Light grazes the surface in long strokes, catching the subtle undulation of the hand-planed grain. Attributed to Maison Regain, the piece belongs to a chapter of French design rooted in post-war reconstruction and a return to material honesty. Founded in the South of France during the 1960s, Maison Regain became a cult atelier renowned for its steadfast commitment to solid woods—especially elm—and to the enduring language of craftsmanship. Alongside contemporaries such as Pierre Chapo and Charlotte Perriand, Regain participated in a movement that rejected ornament in favor of purity, balance, and rural authenticity. Their work often evokes a monastic calm: furniture that lives with you, not simply beside you. Crafted entirely in solid French elm, the construction speaks in the language of joinery: exposed edges, chamfered pulls, and plank-fronted doors that underscore the natural symmetry of the timber. The boards are bookmatched to amplify the flame-like figuring, giving the façade a quiet, organic drama. The three-door configuration reveals generous internal compartments fitted with adjustable shelving, offering utility without compromising its sculptural unity. Wear consistent with age and use. Meticulously preserved by Jada to maintain its structural integrity while honoring its original patina. The piece holds visual weight yet rests lightly in space—its floating plinth and gentle overhangs lending it a grounded elegance. It carries the presence of a functional altar: resolute, contemplative, and enduring. Available for private acquisition. Inquiries from discerning collectors are welcome.
