A Pair of Brutalist Oak Armchairs, Spain 1960s
About the Item
The 1960s witnessed the rise of Brutalism, a style characterised by its unpretentious aesthetic and robust construction. While it is often associated with large concrete structures, the Brutalist influence extended into the realm of furniture design, where it found unique expression — as this pair of armchairs showcase.
The construction of this pair is rather traditional in its material choice. Each armchair features a solid, yet graceful frame, crafted from oak. The natural beauty of oak and its versatile grain are perfectly displayed throughout the chairs, especially on the backrests. The cushions are upholstered in a rich, off-white boucle fabric — inviting the sitter to have a complex experience, between the sturdiness of the oak structure and the softness of the upholstery. The combination of materials and finishes results in visually appealing pieces while adding warmth and comfort to the overall design. The dualism within these chairs is amazing: the chairs can fulfill their functional purpose in an interior while also achieving their aesthetic role. The oak bodies’ proportions are very harmonious, with architectural backs and sturdy legs. These functional aspects reflect the Brutalist design principles, emphasizing minimalist form and practicality. The exposed joints and structural elements are reminiscent of industrial design, celebrating the beauty of rawness and mechanical ingenuity.
The chairs embody on one hand modernity while maintaining their timeless look, making them versatile and stylish additions to any space. Their unique design speaks to an appreciation of both past and present, offering a sophisticated and inviting seating option that blends comfort with cutting-edge design.

Pair of "Edouard" Armchairs by Guillerme et Chambron, France 1960s
By Votre Maison, Guillerme et Chambron
Located in Utrecht, NL
The “Edouard” lounge chair is often described as a “caquetoire”, or a conversation chair. This type of seating was an armchair style which emerged during the European Renaissance in France.
As the name suggests, this type of chair was meant for sitting for elongated periods to chat. Generally, these chairs were also highly regarded for their aesthetic value as well, which can also be said about these exceptional chair models. The “Edouard” is a sculptural model with a blonde oak frame that is characteristic of the French designer duo. The design showcases the wide variety of shapes and forms of the solid oak frames, from the curving lines to the straighter spindles comprising the backrests. Naturally, a conversation chair needs to be first and foremost functional and comfortable, therefore the backs are slightly tilted, and the seat raised, aided by the generous seat and back cushions. The French caquetoire chairs...
