Known for its dedication to refined craftsmanship and honest materials, Maison Regain produced furniture that seamlessly blended rustic warmth with the purity of modernist form—an ethos clearly reflected in this set. Expertly crafted in solid elm, each chair showcases clean, architectural lines and a natural finish that accentuates the expressive grain of the wood. The structure is sturdy and elegantly proportioned, with exposed joinery and squared legs that speak to the meticulous handwork and structural integrity characteristic of Regain's workshop. The low-slung, horizontal backrest offers visual balance and understated comfort, highlighting the minimalist aesthetic that defined postwar French design. The seats are woven in natural rush using traditional French techniques, adding rich texture and artisanal charm to the otherwise crisp, geometric frame. This interplay of wood and fiber embodies the brand’s commitment to elemental materials and timeless utility. The rush is in excellent condition, and the chairs have a gently aged patina that enhances their vintage appeal. Whether used in a dining room, study, or creative interior, these chairs exude quiet sophistication. Their versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of settings—from rustic-modern and brutalist to wabi-sabi and Scandinavian-inspired spaces. Maison Regain remains highly regarded for its contributions to 20th-century French furniture, often working in the legacy of Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Chapo. This set represents a beautiful and collectible example of their oeuvre—both functional and sculptural.
