Studio Craft Wood Side Table, American, 1960s

Robert Guillerme studied design and architecture at the École Boule, graduating in 1934.

The company’s output served as a model for a vast field of livable contemporaneous design. The soul of Guillerme et Chambron’s work was in the company’s name (“Your House").

This steady output of beautiful furniture bucked convention not merely in the equal emphasis Guillerme placed on function and aesthetics, but in the almost paradoxical creation...
