Four Green Chairs 771 by Joseph André Motte, Steiner, 1958
Set of 4 chairs model 771, it is often called "the tongue chair" because of its design. It was published by Steiner in 1958. The vintage velvet of the chairs is authentic, so it may have some defects due to its age but still in very good condition.
Joseph-André Motte (1925 - 2013) was an interior architect and one of the great figures of French design in the 1950s and 1960s.
At the École des arts appliqués à l'industrie (now ENSAAMA), he studied under René Gabriel, Louis Sognot and Albert Guénot, graduating top of his class in 1948. He then obtained his first collaboration with the Bon Marché art studio. One of his first models, the Tripodes armchair (1949) in beech and woven rattan, soon made him famous. In 1954, with Pierre Guariche and Michel Mortier, he founded the Atelier de recherche plastique (ARP) and also joined the Groupe 4 created by Georges Charron, René-Jean Caillette, Geneviève Dangles and Alain Richard. During these years, Joseph-André Motte began a collaboration with the famous publisher Steiner. He designed the legendary 740, 770 and 800 armchairs, the A6 chair and the Bahut enfilade. Timeless pieces of French chic, elegant and refined, which revisit classicism with a modern touch.
In the field of decorative arts, he also supplied various models of luxury furniture for the Mobilier National in the 1960s. His brilliant career continued with the commissioning of several large-scale public facilities. Orly Sud airport (1958 - 1961), Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport (1974) and Lyon Satolas airport (1975), Le Havre ferry terminal (1963/1964)... And above all, from 1973 to 1983, he renovated, with the architect Paul Andreu, a hundred or so Paris metro stations for which he designed the seat-shells that can still be seen today. Together, they proposed a new style, known as Andreu-Motte, dominated by white, notably with the presence of the famous bevelled tiles.
Joseph-André Motte shared this rich experience by teaching at several higher education establishments such as the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs, Camondo and the École Boulle.

Set of 4 Oak Chairs with White Fabric Seat by René Gabriel, 1950s

Set of 4 oak chairs with white fabric seat by René Gabriel, 1950s
René Gabriel (1899 - 1950) is a precursor of French industrial design. He was one of the first to create, as early as the 1930s, economical mass-produced furniture combining aestheticism, robustness and sobriety, a source of inspiration for a whole generation of future designers.
A student at the Germain Pilon School and then at the National School of Decorative Arts, René Gabriel began as a domino maker by designing and producing his own wallpapers, and then made his mark as a decorative artist in most of the salons and international exhibitions of the inter-war period. In 1927, he began his research into the creation of mass-produced furniture and proposed a piece of furniture composed of juxtaposable and superposable elements. He studied an economical version that he presented in 1934 at the Salon des arts ménagers under the name of RG elements.
Another major turning point came in 1944, when the Ministry of Reconstruction and Urban Planning commissioned him to create emergency furniture. A fervent advocate of furniture for all, René Gabriel designed numerous models for disaster victims by establishing close ties with industry. He also collaborated with Auguste Perret...
