The wood, carefully steam-bent, boasts a beautiful finish that highlights its natural grain.

The circular seat is crafted using traditional caning. This choice of material lends the armchair lightness, breathability, and an authentic touch. The curved, slender backrest gently follows the natural curve of the spine, offering comfortable support while maintaining a clean, minimalist look.
The armrests seamlessly extend the curves of the backrest, creating a harmonious and enveloping silhouette. The legs are slightly curved outwards, giving the armchair enhanced stability and a dynamic appearance. They are connected by a circular wooden band that ensures the overall sturdiness while adding a subtle decorative touch.
This armchair is ideal for a vintage, bohemian, or classic chic setting. It can be used as an extra seat in a living room, bedroom, or reading nook, adding charm and character to any interior.

The “Maison Baumann” refers to the Baumann factory, an iconic French company specializing in bentwood furniture, particularly chairs, founded in 1901 by Émile Baumann in Colombier-Fontaine (Doubs). It became a true icon of 20th-century design, especially known for its bistro chairs and timeless pieces that are now highly sought after by vintage enthusiasts.
