French Art Deco Mahogany Wrapped Settee, 1940's
-
Description
Imagine Frank Lloyd Wright and Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann meeting for a coffee in a chic Parisian café—this stunning 1940s French Art Deco settee is exactly what they'd sit on. With sleek, angular lines that would make any geometry teacher jealous, this piece brings the architectural drama of Wright and the refined elegance of Ruhlmann to life. The mahogany sides? Oh, they don’t just sit there. They perform—angled like a modernist ballet at a graceful 15 or so degrees, leading up to a high-back that demands attention.
Wrapped in creamy, soft-to-the-touch vegan suede (faux, but make it fancy), this settee is the ultimate bougie-meets-brainy blend of sustainable chic and timeless sophistication. The contrast between the rich, reddish mahogany and the subtle light upholstery is pure poetry. Both the top and bottom frames, plus the tapered back feet, carry the mahogany’s presence throughout—because consistency is key, darling.
Perfect for any modern-day Gatsby, or if you just want your living room to feel like an Elle Decor spread, this settee draws inspiration not just from Wright and Ruhlmann, but also from the iconic stylings of Jean-Michel Frank and Paul Poiret. It’s more than just a seat—it’s a piece of art history you can sink into. -
