Featuring hand-turned beechwood frames and natural rope-woven seats and backs, the chairs exemplify a design ethos rooted in simplicity, utility, and honest materials. The design is both sculptural and inviting. Bold turned wood elements form a striking frame, while the use of twisted rope adds a tactile, textural element that softens the visual weight of the structure. The natural rope is tightly woven and retains a rich, aged patina—offering both visual warmth and reliable comfort. with their low-slung proportions, wide seats, and gently reclining backs, these chairs provide exceptional relaxation. The construction method, material palette, and artisanal detailing all speak to the rustic French design spirit popularized by Audoux and Minet—designers known for embracing handcrafted techniques and elevating humble materials in their Riviera-inspired furniture. While the maker is unknown, the craftsmanship and composition strongly recall the celebrated style of Audoux-Minet’s 1950s creations. Ideal for a sunroom, rustic retreat, or modernist interior seeking an organic counterpoint.
