The chairs are distinguished by their exceptionally tall and slender open backs, formed by two elongated elm uprights that rise dramatically from the rear legs. Their subtly curved profiles create an expressive, almost architectural silhouette and give the chairs a remarkable sculptural presence from every angle. The warm golden tones and pronounced natural grain of the solid elm contrast beautifully with the black leather seats. The softly shaped seats feature rounded edges and provide a refined visual counterpoint to the strong verticality of the frames. with an impressive overall height of 115 cm / 45.28 in, these chairs have unusually dramatic proportions. When placed around a dining table, the repeated high-back silhouettes create a particularly strong and sophisticated composition. The design is characteristic of the more expressive direction found in French modernist furniture of the 1970s, combining traditional woodworking, substantial natural materials and bold sculptural forms. The set is presented in good vintage condition, with minor age-related traces of use and natural variations to the elm and black leather consistent with age. These details contribute to the authentic character and patina of the chairs. An exceptional set for a sophisticated modernist, Brutalist, contemporary or eclectic interior, equally suited to a private residence, collector's interior or high-end hospitality project.
