Enrique Garcel 1970s Goatskin Parchment Dining Chairs - Set of 6 (2 Arm, 4 Side)

$ 6,500
  • Description
    This exceptional set of six dining chairs (comprising two armchairs and four side chairs) is a pristine example of 1970s Hollywood Regency luxury by Spanish designer Enrique Garcel. Custom-crafted in his renowned artisan studio in Bogotá, Colombia, the chairs feature a striking, high-contrast Italianate silhouette heavily inspired by the era's signature Neoclassical revival.

    The frames are completely clad in a meticulously hand-applied goatskin parchment veneer. The main body features a radiant, pale cream parchment that creates a bold graphic statement against the deep charcoal gray dyed parchment trim. This charcoal framing sharply outlines the sweeping contours of the seat and backrest. The entire parchment frame is sealed under a smooth, resilient high-gloss resin coating. This finish preserves the natural organic variance of the skins while providing a tough, uniform surface that stands up easily to everyday dining use.

    The set has been freshly brought into the modern era with brand-new, top-tier upholstery. The seats and backrests are wrapped in premium Kravet Couture Plain Luxury Chenille in the highly versatile Flattering/Cement colorway (a high-end blend of 38% Viscose, 37% Cotton, 21% Linen, and 4% Poly) over fresh, resilient high-density foam

    Dimensions & Scale

    Condition & Provenance
    The chairs are in good vintage condition. The structural framework remains rock-solid, and the protective resin finish is entirely intact across the set. In keeping with their 45+ year history, there are a couple of historic, professional restorations to the frames that blend seamlessly into the natural character of the parchment. This investment-grade set well represents Garcel’s mid-century Colombian studio output.
