Pair of “Grégoire” Lounge Chairs by Guillerme et Chambron, France 1960s

This pair of “Grégoire” lounge chairs by the French designer duo Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron are a stunning blend of soft form and geometric linear structure. The fluid lines thoughtfully demonstrate the designers’ dedication to maintain a smooth form, while still playing with its geometry.

This model exhibits numerous stylistic elements that are characteristic of the designers’ influential creations. The sculptural armrests are a particular highlight of the “Grégoire” chair: it cascades from top to bottom in a continuous line, delineating the backrest’s upper contour and seamlessly connecting all the way down to form the front legs. The wood of the armrests is slightly rounded at the edges of each side, serving a double purpose: a functional one and an aesthetic one. They promise a comfortable and relaxed seating experience, while visually breaking the continuity of the outer line. The wide, comfortable seat and back cushions, upholstered in a beige fabric, provide plenty of comfort paired with the slightly inclined backrest.

Through their establishment of Votre Maison, Guillerme et Chambron significantly influenced how to blend functional and aesthetic choices. With the “Grégoire” chair model, both designers effortlessly highlight how certain stylistic decisions can create harmony through forms and negative space.
