Set of Six Dining Chairs by Guillerme et Chambron, France 1960s

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

Description
Guillerme et Chambron - iconic French designers of the post-war era - shaped a new language of furniture design that was both sculptural and deeply connected to everyday life. Working together under the Votre Maison label, Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron infused their pieces with warmth, craftsmanship, and a sense of individuality that set them apart from more industrial mid-century modernism. The legendary duo placed equal emphasis on function and form, creating an aesthetic as staid as it was - and continues to be - visually arresting.

This rare set of six dining chairs highlights the duo’s talent with clarity and confidence. The carved oak frames bring forward the duo’s unmistakable approach to shape: strong architectural lines softened by organic detail. The slightly tilted backrests introduce comfort, while the sabre-shaped legs give each chair a poised stance. A unique feature of this model is the distinct carved curvatures of the backrests, an element that adds rhythm and character to the silhouette. A cross structure supports each seat, reinforcing the model while also showcasing expert craftsmanship. Upholstered in a textured bouclé, the seats introduce a soft tactile contrast to the smooth, firm oak, enhancing comfort without diminishing the integrity of the original design. Every component, from joinery to proportion, feels deliberate. These chairs demonstrate an understanding that beauty and usability are inseparable.

The set of chairs offers a cohesive presence that elevates a dining space through material richness and refined quality. They embody Guillerme et Chambron’s commitment to making furniture that feels grounded and expressive. This set stands as an enduring example of French mid-century design at its best.
