About the Item

Etienne Kohlmann was a French interior decorator and designer during the early to mid-20th century. This set of dining chairs was crafted in the 1930s, and its design and execution show how the aesthetic and functional dimensions were of equal importance for Kohlmann. This set is all about the gorgeous wooden structure. The discreet joinery and seamless construction reflect the French emphasis on detail and quality, elevating the chairs beyond just function to objects of aesthetic value. The carved backrests of this set immediately stand out. The dark-stained oak reveals a rich grain and depth, enhancing the organic beauty of the carved surface. Since the wood has a deep, rich tone, it pairs beautifully with the burnt-orange mohair upholstery, offering a restrained yet sophisticated material contrast. Overall, the construction is solid and balanced, yet it does not shy from a dynamic interplay of shapes: the bold geometry of the backrests contrasts with the smooth linearity of the base. This sense of proportion reflects the maker’s background in both cabinetmaking and art, speaking to his interest in giving weight and presence to utilitarian forms. This set is a timeless addition to any dining room, blending sculptural presence with everyday functionality. As with much of Etienne Kohlmann’s work, these chairs stand as enduring examples of French mid-century design at its finest, warm, distinctive, and thoughtfully made. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chairs have recently been reconditioned and reupholstered in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be reupholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Due to the nature and age of the wood, the chairs may have some marks, scratches, and discolouration.
