René Gabriel Armchair in Oak - 1950's

Description

French mid-century modern armchair designed in the 1950s by René Gabriel. Solid oak side chair with padded seats and a slightly tilted backrest, making it very comfortable. Both the seat and backrest are covered in fabric. It's an elegant design that would fit well in a Jeanneret, Perriand meets wabi-sabi rustic modern interior. A well-proportioned piece within a simplistic construction that allows it to fit seamlessly into any interior.

This armchair is in excellent original condition. If required we can reupholster in a fabric of your choice by our experienced craftsman in our in-house restoration atelier.

René Gabriel (14 September 1890 – 30 October 1950) was a French decorative artist and designer who specialised in furniture series (meuble de série). He had a clean, logical style that inspired many of the new designers in the years after World War II (1939–45). The prestigious Prix René Gabriel continues to be awarded to French designers for modern designs that can be mass-produced.

We have one chair available, priced per piece.
