A Pair of Guillerme et Chambron "Grand Repos" Lounge Chairs, France 1950s

Creator: Guillerme et Chambron - Votre Maison
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
These Guillerme et Chambron ‘Grand Repos’ Lounge Chairs display a beautiful contrast between the light wooden oak frame and the elegant blue fabric of the cushions. With a solid wooden frame, the support for the back is made with six wooden spindles extending upwards yet slightly curved, resulting in a rounded backrest.

The cushions are upholstered in premium fabric. The pillow for the backrest has been embellished with twenty-five tufted buttons on the front and back, as well as with loops encompassing the spindles that ensure the cushion stays in position. The bottom consists of a cushion framed by the curved wooden armrests which extend to the legs.

About the designers:
Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron worked together in order to create this exquisite set. Guillerme studied architecture, however after WWII moved to Lille and continued designing furniture. Chambron knew Guillerme for years and moved in order to work together with him on furniture. Their company very apptly was named Votre Maison (Your House), and this was an overarching theme in their work, as both Guillerme and Chabron believed home to be a family place providing both comfort and aesthetic features. ~H.
