About the Item
Set of 4 Armchairs in Metal and Leather, France, 1970s
A set of four highly 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 continue far beyond what is structurally necessary, almost like the designer decided not to stop once the seat was finished. This extension of forms gives the chairs a slightly surreal quality. They look soft, exaggerated, and almost cartoon-like, yet the structure underneath is extremely solid.
The frame is made from white-lacquered steel that outlines the entire profile of the chair, visible as a clean, continuous line from top to bottom. It cuts through the warm tobacco leather in a way that makes the shape even more pronounced. The armrests follow their own logic: angular, almost too thin for the volume beneath them, but somehow perfectly fitting once you sit down. Nothing on these chairs feels predictable.
The faux leather is in good condition, and the colour reads beautifully in soft light. Because the design is so dominated by curves, your eye keeps moving; there is no single straight surface to settle on, except for that white stripe of steel that keeps the whole sculpture in place. The chairs are surprisingly comfortable, heavy in the hand, and visually bold. They would work just as well around a dining table as they would in a creative studio, a gallery, or a room that needs one strong gesture.
Shipping can be arranged quickly worldwide, with delivery to the U.S. and Asia sometimes within two weeks.
