A bold ensemble of sculptural dining chairs, this Belgian set of eight from circa 1970. The chairs exemplify the raw elegance of Brutalist design as interpreted through mid-century craftsmanship. Constructed from solid wood with a dark, expressive grain, each chair features a robust frame with turned legs and a ladder-back silhouette, striking in its simplicity and architectural rhythm.

The seats are handwoven in natural wicker, offering a tactile counterpoint to the geometric severity of the wood. This interplay of materials, organic and structural, reflects the Brutalist ethos: honest, elemental, and unadorned. The chairs bear subtle signs of use, consistent with age, which enhance their authenticity and lived character.

Designed for both durability and presence, these chairs are ideal for a dramatic dining setting, a gallery-like interior, or a hospitality space that embraces texture and form. Their uniformity and sculptural stance make them as compelling in a row as they are around a table. See less
