Wood Leather Dining Chairs Luigi Gorgoni Roche Bobois, 1970s, Set of 7

A vintage French brutalist dining chair set in solid elm and cognac leather, attributed to Giovanni Luigi Gorgoni for Roche Bobois, produced in France during the 1970s. This sculptural set of 7 vintage dining chairs combines warm elm wood, patinated leather upholstery, architectural proportions and a strong French modern design language, making it a highly distinctive choice for a curated dining room or collected interior. Designer: Giovanni Luigi Gorgoni. Maker: Roche Bobois. Origin: France. Period: 1970s. Style: French modern / brutalist / mid-century modern. Materials: Elm, leather. Dimensions: 49.5 W × 50 D × 100.5 H cm (19.5 W × 19.7 D × 39.6 H in) Seat height: 47 cm (18.5 in) Quantity: Set of 7. The chairs have a bold and architectural presence, with tall vertical elm frames, softly rounded edges and a beautifully integrated leather seat and backrest. The leather folds over the back in a refined saddle-like construction, finished with visible stitching that adds texture and rhythm to the design. The contrast between the solid wooden structure and the warm cognac leather gives the set a strong yet elegant character, with a sculptural quality typical of 1970s French brutalist furniture. Condition. Good vintage condition with signs of age and use consistent with its period. The leather shows visible patina, surface scratches, rubbing, darker circular seat marks, small scuffs and natural wear throughout. Some seats show more visible wear than others. The wooden elm frames show light scratches, small knocks, marks, patina and tonal variation. Some wear is visible along the leather edges and stitching areas. The chairs are structurally solid and ready for use. The visible age-related wear adds to the honest vintage character of the set.
