Bench "Ikmissou" - Design by Pascal Mourgue, Circa 1980

Attributed to the famous French designer Pascal Mourgue and dating from around 1980, this piece perfectly embodies the minimalist and structural aesthetic of this pivotal era. This bench stands out with its bold chrome metal structure. • "Gondol" Backrest: The focal point is undoubtedly the large mesh backrest, rhythmically defined by parallel horizontal bars in chrome steel. This structure creates a unique "mesh texture, " offering both support and visual lightness. The elegant curvature evokes the silhouette of a gondola, hence its name. • Seat and Base: The long floating seat is supported by conical chrome metal legs, a recurring signature in Mourgue's work during this period. These legs end in round pads, adding a touch of finesse and stability. This bench is in very good overall condition, especially considering its age. The chrome is shiny. The fabric of the seat and cushions is clean and has retained its shape, with no visible tears or major stains. It is a "ready-to-use" piece that will immediately add a touch of character to your interior.
