Francois Carré, “Sunburst” Garden Chair
French by design. An icon of exterior style. The “Deauville” chair. Also known and referred to as the “Carré Sunburst”, “Sunburst”, “French Button”, “Rosette”, “Pinwheel”, “Slat Back Style” or simply “Spring Steel Chair”, this chair of structural iron originated in Paris, France by French designer Francois (Felix) Carré sometime during the 1850’s. The design of this seat is said to have been “developed in response to the demand for seating in Parisian open parks, boulevards and outdoor concerts”. Of interest, it is stated that the 1965 guidebooks would describe his chairs as “a real revolution” -possibly due to their iron structure durability surpassing that of wood in terms of longevity.
Although there is little to be found on this French designer, François A. Carré, the chair that he patented in 1866 has and will endure to link his name to its design. Comprising of simple bent steel rod and spring construction, the Deauville chair was “produced in Paris by the Val d’Osne foundries, Schlesinger Wiessener
Co of both Vienna and New York, and by Lalance
Grosjean of New York.” Carré’s patent was later purchased by Lalance and Grosjean to produce these seats. In 1890 the factory of Lalance and Grosjean is said to have been sold to garden furniture manufacturer, Wessbecher, who were known to be still advertising their furniture in 1959. From this point on, it is unclear of the history of the patent, however, these iconic spring steel chairs have continued to be made by others internationally, including in America, in the decades that followed. Variations on a design of ornamental metal in time that would seat stylishly within the exterior garden setting.
