French wooden chair with yellow upholstery, France, 1950s.

French wooden chair with yellow upholstery, France, 1950s. This expressive armchair was produced by Bow Wood in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, just outside Paris. The structure is made of laminated bent wood with a dark, patinated finish that reveals the grain and age of the material. The armrests are carved from solid wood and shaped to follow the curve of the arms, giving the chair a strong and almost architectural character. The seat and backrest are upholstered in yellow fabric, secured with visible nails and supported underneath by sinuous steel springs and jute straps—a typical construction method of the time. The legs are reinforced with brass rings, which serve both as a decorative detail and structural support. With its curved lines and bold proportions, the chair bridges industrial production and artisanal detail. The original label under the seat confirms its French origin. It is a rare piece that remains contemporary, especially for interiors that blend design history, texture, and soul. Dimensions. Width: 64 cm. Height: 82 cm.
