These elegant chairs feature a slender tubular metal frame with gently angled legs, upholstered armrests and a generously padded seat and backrest. The lightweight construction contrasts beautifully with the soft, rounded upholstery, creating a refined and timeless design. All six chairs have been professionally reupholstered in a new, high-quality fabric featuring a small geometric pattern in warm brown and beige tones. The original foam has been completely replaced, providing excellent seating comfort while preserving the characteristic shape and proportions of Paulin's design. The upholstered armrests offer additional comfort, making these chairs particularly suitable for long dinners, meetings or use as occasional seating. The metal frames retain their vintage character, showing minor signs of age and use consistent with their period. A wonderful opportunity to acquire a matching set of six iconic French mid-century chairs, carefully restored and ready for everyday use. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
