A set of eight mid-century dining chairs crafted in lacquered rattan with a faux bamboo motif, echoing the stylistic language of Maison Jansen. The ensemble includes six side chairs and two armchairs, intended for the heads of the table, unified by a glossy black enamel finish that enhances the sculptural silhouette and textural richness of the rattan framework. The backrests feature a crisscross lattice pattern carved with precision, complemented by woven cane seats that provide a subtle visual counterpoint to the more linear structure.

Rooted in the Hollywood Regency aesthetic, the design draws from the Chinese Chippendale tradition, evident in the interplay of geometry and ornament, yet streamlined for modern interiors. The influence of French decorative arts is present in the meticulous construction and elegant proportion, resonating with the decorative ethos Maison Jansen became known for. Bold yet graceful, the set balances expressive detailing with restrained sophistication. See less
