Set of Six Oak Dining Chairs by Guillerme et Chambron, France 20th Century

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

Description
Many associate the design duo, Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron, with some of the most recognisable and enduring French furniture of the second half of the 20th century. Working for their workshop Votre Maison, founded in the 1950s, the pair developed a design language that merged modernist ideals with a rustic sensibility and deep respect for craftsmanship. Known especially for their use of solid oak, expressive lines, and thoughtful detailing, Guillerme et Chambron created pieces that feel as relevant today as they did during the mid-century.

This set of six oak dining chairs perfectly embodies the duo’s unique approach to form, comfort, and material honesty. At the core of these chairs is the use of solid oak a material preferred by the designers for its strength, rich character, and timeless appeal. The slightly curved backrests feature three wide, tapered vertical slats with distinctive V-shaped cutouts, offering visual rhythm and ergonomic support in equal measure. The frames showcase the warm tones and pronounced grain of the oak, a natural beauty emphasized by the designers’ restrained, sculptural sensibility. The shape of the wood, from the back to the tapered legs adds a dynamic sense of geometry to the otherwise grounded form. Upholstered in a light, textured fabric, the seat cushions bring a soft contrast to the wood, enhancing both comfort and visual balance. The cushions sit neatly within the frame, underscoring the designers’ attention to detail and proportion. Altogether, the chairs’ clean lines, expert joinery, and refined material contrasts reflect Guillerme et Chambron's commitment to modern elegance rooted in traditional craftsmanship.

This set will be a timeless addition to any dining room, blending sculptural presence with everyday functionality. As with much of Guillerme et Chambron’s work, these chairs stand as enduring examples of French mid-century design at its finest, warm, distinctive, and thoughtfully made.
