About the Item
Rare and iconic large low chairs by Georges Candilis and Anja Blomstedt.
Furnishings for the vacation village Les Carrats in Port-Leucate. Designed and manufactured in 1969, then produced by Sentou exclusively for Les Carrats from 1970 to 1971.
Serge Lemoine, professor of art history at the Sorbonne and former curator of the Musée d'Orsay, wrote in his blog about the interest in the reappearance of these pieces of furniture, which fit in perfectly with the research of functionalist architecture, which aimed for standardization as well as economy of means, and where form had to respond directly to function. Such is the case with these minimalist low chairs, which are straight to the point.
In recent years, a number of buildings designed by Candilis have been awarded the "Patrimoine XXème" label by the French authorities, such as the CAF vacation village "Les Carrats" in Port-Leucate (Aude), for which he designed original furniture in collaboration with Anja Blomstedt, a Finnish interior designer and collaborator of Charlotte Perriand. The furniture was manufactured and assembled by the Sentou workshops. A rare edition, handcrafted in a few hundred pieces, this furniture was intended exclusively for these seasonal homes. Their simple, raw form is directly reminiscent of Gerrit Rietveld's exemplary creations. Georges Candilis
Anja Blomstedt offer us a distinctive, radical and sober design whose beauty comes from the extreme simplicity of Nordic influences.
Committed to the idea of housing as many people as possible, Georges Candilis devoted most of his time to designing large-scale housing programs. His involvement and influence made him one of the most original architects of the great wave of social construction in the 60s.
this model of large low chair is particularly rare.

Mobichalet Brutalist set of 4 Solid Wood Chairs 1960
By Mobichalet
Located in Santa Gertrudis, Baleares
Mobichalet, founded by a teacher turned cabinetmaker named Joseph Deffense in Beauraing, Belgium, in 1950, had been active a decade, aiming at furnishing second homes with rustic furnitures, which left a sought after legacy of strikingly powerful and peculiar handcrafted brutalist pieces.
The chairs forming this set are typical of the designer : the seat itself is a solid slab of pine wood, the headrest is thick, a simple rectangular cuboid, and, as expected in a brutalist design, the construction is very simple yet efficient and sturdy with no sharp angles. This extremely nice set features an homogeneous seat height and very good backrest angle through all the chairs, ensuring an unexpected and consistent comfort.
Under the seat, as illustrated in the pictures, the brand logo is directly carved - or drilled - in the wood with large stencil...
