About the Item

Guillerme et Chambron for Votre Maison, corner writing desk, oak, stone, France, 1960s A design by Guillerme et Chambron, featuring a corner desk crafted primarily from dark stained oak. The desk's angular design features a L-shaped structure with two distinct surfaces and a pull-out leaf, providing ample space for various tasks. One side of the desk is elevated, intended for writing or reading, while the adjoining section supports three horizontally-aligned drawers, offering storage capacity for documents, office supplies, or other essential items. The compartment is paired with a black stone slab, providing a vivid contrast in materials. The presence of supporting beams beneath the larger surface reinforces the structural integrity of the desk and provides a striking geometric constellation. The dark finish of the wood lends the desk a refined, robust appearance. The French designer duo Jacques Chambron (1914-2001) and Robert Guillerme (1913-1990) started their production postwar. Robert Guillerme studied design and architecture at the École Boule and graduated first in his class in 1934. Meanwhile, Jacques Chambron graduated from the School of Applied Arts in Reims. During the Second World War, the two met in a stalag, a Prussian prisoner camp, while being imprisoned by the Germans in East Prussia and started a great friendship based on their intense and deep passion for interior design. In 1948, Chambron resigned from his job as a painter and decorator on the Rue Nollet in Paris to move to Lille, in the North of France and join Guillerme. A year later, the two met cabinetmaker Émile Dariosecq, who was the owner of a workshop close by. It was during this meeting, that they decided to create their own company. They named it “Votre Maison”, meaning “Your Home”, which became the soul of the company. With this, they wanted to create pieces that focused on functionality combined with a beautiful design useful for daily life, by which they created a worldwide reputation. Most of the furniture designed by this duo shows a strong character and has a great expressive woodwork. The three of them divided their work equally. Overall, Guillerme worked as a designer, Chambron as a commercial, and Dariosecq’s workshop manufactured the pieces. Throughout their career, ‘Votre Maison’ produced over two thousand models, leaving a lasting mark in the world of design. Kindly note that the piece is in good, patinated condition.
