Guillerme et Chambron Extendable Dining Table for Votre Maison, France ca 1980s

Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron were key figures in postwar French furniture design. Together they founded the company Votre Maison in 1949, and their collaboration resulted in furniture that emphasized strong construction, natural materials, and carefully balanced proportions. The duo created pieces that were solidly built yet visually distinctive, helping establish Votre Maison as an important name in mid-century French design.

This extendable dining table reflects the designers’ preference for oak and their focus on structural clarity. The round tabletop is composed of triangular sections of wood arranged in a radial pattern, creating a subtle graphic effect that draws attention to the natural variation of the grain. The top is rounded, softening the overall form while maintaining a clear, disciplined outline. Beneath the top, the structure is supported by four legs connected through rectangular stretcher frames. This arrangement gives the table visual rhythm and strong stability, while also leaving the seating area open and practical. Like many tables produced by Votre Maison, the piece was designed with usability in mind. The table is extendable, allowing it to accommodate a larger number of guests when needed while maintaining a compact footprint when closed. The oak frame contributes both durability and warmth, with the natural material providing texture and depth without relying on additional ornamentation.

The result is a table that combines functional flexibility with a clear structural identity. Its balanced proportions, carefully worked oak surfaces, and straightforward construction illustrate the design approach that made Guillerme et Chambron influential and enduring figures of postwar design.
