Set of 4 metal and faux leather armchairs, France, 1970s.

Set of 4 metal and leather armchairs, France, 1970s A set of four very unusual dining chairs from the 1970s, built around a sculptural idea rather than a conventional seating logic. Each chair is composed of stacked rounded leather cylinders that go well beyond what is structurally necessary, as if the designer decided not to stop once the seat was finished. This extension of forms gives the chairs a slightly surreal quality. They appear soft, exaggerated, and almost caricature-like, while the structure underneath is extremely solid. The frame is made of white lacquered steel that outlines the entire profile of the chair, visible as a sharp and continuous line from top to bottom. It cuts through the warm tobacco-colored leather in a way that accentuates the shape even more. The armrests follow their own logic: angular, almost too thin for the volume underneath, but somehow perfectly suited once seated. Nothing about these chairs seems predictable. The faux leather is in good condition, and the color reads beautifully in soft light. As the design is dominated by curves, the eye continues to move; there is not a single straight surface to rest on, except for this white band of steel that holds the entire sculpture in place. The chairs are surprisingly comfortable, heavy in hand, and visually bold. They would work equally well around a dining table as in a creative studio, a gallery, or a room that needs a strong gesture.
