Set of 6 Guillerme et Chambron "Thierry" Dining Chairs, France 1970s

Creator: Guillerme et Chambron
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
This stunning set of six 'Thierry' dining chairs, designed by the renowned French duo Guillerme et Chambron, showcase an exquisite blend of elegant aesthetics and rustic design elements. Crafted in the 1970s by Votre Maison, these chairs remind us how form and elegance blend together in the duo's exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive style.

At the heart of the construction of these chairs is the use of oak, a material renowned for its durability and timeless aesthetic qualities. Oak was the preferred material for Guillerme et Chambron, and in these chairs they have expertly showcased its rich and robust character - resulting in solid, functional, and visually captivating works of art. The wooden seats are slightly rounded and formed by three solid parts separated by a small gap. The seating experience is one of comfort while establishing a harmonious connection with the overall smooth design. One of the defining features of these chairs is the curved lines that we find on the back rest, legs and seating section. These chairs highlight how smooth lines can blend seamlessly with a visual robustness, serving both an aesthetic and functional purpose. Additionally, the structure of each chair allows light and air to pass through, creating a sense of openness and lightness. The back legs continue all the way up to form the backrest, slightly peaking above it. This minor detail adds a distinctive flair to the overall composition, which characterise this set and set them aside from others.

The chairs' form is clean, geometrical, and is a testament to Guillerme et Chambron's dedication to modernism, while staying rooted in traditional craftsmanship and joinery techniques. Their work not only represents the fusion of function and form, but also exemplifies the mid-century modern aesthetic, which they played a pivotal role in actively shaping. Their emphasis on quality craftsmanship and the use of noble materials - like oak - has undeniably left a lasting imprint in the world of furniture design, solidifying their legacy in the French design landscape during the mid-century era.
