Mobichalet Brutalist Impressive Solid Oak Center Table Belgium 1950s

About the Item

Mobichalet, founded by the teacher turned cabinetmaker Joseph Deffense in Beauraing, Belgium, in 1950, had been active a decade, aiming at furnishing second homes with rustic furnitures, which left a sought after legacy of strikingly powerful and peculiar handcrafted brutalist pieces. This low table is nothing short of impressive, an almost raw thick piece of solid oak supported by four debarked logs, a very good example of Mobichalet style, with a typical and representative simple construction and assembly. A noteworthy detail here : the table's construction story is told under the table, with those two extra leg holes confessing the builder's unhidden remorses The heavy split preventing corrugated staples on both ends of the table are an unmistakable and typically brutalist signature of the Mobichalet production, on top of the large brand logo in the wood under the table.

  • Mobichalet Brutalist set of 4 Solid Wood Chairs 1960
    By Mobichalet
    Located in Santa Gertrudis, Baleares
    Mobichalet, founded by a teacher turned cabinetmaker named Joseph Deffense in Beauraing, Belgium, in 1950, had been active a decade, aiming at furnishing second homes with rustic furnitures, which left a sought after legacy of strikingly powerful and peculiar handcrafted brutalist pieces. The chairs forming this set are typical of the designer : the seat itself is a solid slab of pine wood, the headrest is thick, a simple rectangular cuboid, and, as expected in a brutalist design, the construction is very simple yet efficient and sturdy with no sharp angles. This extremely nice set features an homogeneous seat height and very good backrest angle through all the chairs, ensuring an unexpected and consistent comfort. Under the seat, as illustrated in the pictures, the brand logo is directly carved - or drilled - in the wood with large stencil...
