About the Item
Striking “Scimitar” dining set by French modernist designer Boris Tabacoff (1927–1985), produced by Mobilier Modulaire Moderne (MMM) in the early 1970s. This complete ensemble includes six of the iconic Scimitar chairs—a notably rare configuration—and a matching round glass-top table. The sculptural forms and crescent-shaped chrome bases epitomize Space-Age French design at its boldest and most refined.
The chairs have been expertly reupholstered in high-quality white leatherette, staying true to the original look and material, while offering a fresh, immaculate finish. Their cantilevered chrome bases give a floating effect that perfectly echoes the gravity-defying elegance of the period. The tempered glass tabletop, resting on a coordinating chrome base, completes the set with perfect cohesion.
⸻
Designer Significance:
Educated in Paris, Boris Tabacoff is celebrated for merging futuristic aesthetics with sculptural functionality. His Scimitar series, designed for MMM, stands as a definitive expression of 1970s French modernism and is featured in galleries and curated interiors worldwide. Complete dining sets—particularly with six chairs—are extremely rare, as most surviving examples appear in sets of two or four.
⸻
Set Includes:
• 6 “Scimitar” chairs by Boris Tabacoff (newly reupholstered in white leatherette)
• 1 round dining table with original chrome crescent base and tempered glass top
⸻
An exceptional and increasingly scarce collector’s piece, this six-seat Tabacoff dining set embodies the sculptural energy and futuristic vision of the Space-Age era—ideal for design enthusiasts, collectors, or statement interiors.
