4 Chairs Maison Jansen “Savonarola”

Maison Jansen — Set of four Savonarola chairs, circa 1970. Set of four Savonarola chairs with a sculptural design, published by Maison Jansen around 1970. This iconic model elegantly illustrates the dialogue between neoclassicism and modernism that has made the famous Parisian house renowned. The curved chrome metal structure forms a fluid and perfectly balanced X-shaped base. The slightly curved arms and uprights are adorned with stylised ends, while the central rosette and turned details highlight the high quality of craftsmanship characteristic of Jansen's work. The feet are adjustable and can rotate 360 degrees. The seat and backrest are made of wide strips of dark brown to black patinated leather, held in place by refined lateral lacing, providing comfort and flexibility in use. Inspired by the curule chairs of ancient Rome, this Savonarola model combines historical references with contemporary aesthetics with remarkable mastery. This set of four chairs fits seamlessly into both a classic interior and a modern or eclectic decor. The leather shows slight marks and small irregularities, discreet and related to the age of the chairs. The leather, of very high quality and significant thickness, can be easily restored; a simple care routine or nourishing leather cream will help to diminish its appearance if desired.
