Vintage Oak and Rush Chairs by Charlotte Perriand, 1960s, Set of 7

About This Piece

Vintage Design

A strange number I know, but in the country house where we bought them it seems that the eighth chair has never been there.
Seven chairs for seven magnificent gunslingers, perhaps enlisted to defend the village in central Italy from the "Calvera" on duty.
The solid oak wood and the straw could make you think you are really on the set of a western film set in Mexico but in reality it is the archetype of the Italian chair that also inspired the designer Vico Magistretti for the creation of his Carimate.
if you think of a chair in your mind, you imagine it just like that.
dating back to the 1960s and 1970s, they have a stable and solid structure in solid ash wood, backrest in curved plywood veneered in ash and rush seat.
The style and origin make their production attributable to the historic Italian company Fratelli Montina, for which Ilmari Tapiovaara and Silvio Coppola designed furniture and chairs.
Wrongly defined as "Brutalists" for the dry and frill-free wooden structures, they are actually the result of the combination of excellent design and enhancement of the simplicity and essentiality of the rural and folk furnishings of the past.
just think of Charlotte Perriand's design work for Steph Simon with her "Maribel" chairs to perceive the mood and intention of these furniture elements as well as these chairs.

About the Creator

Charlotte Perriand

Born in Paris in 1903, Charlotte Perriand studied at the Ecole de l’Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs. In 1927, inspired by his architectural treatises, Perriand persuaded Le Corbusier to employ her. He put her in charge of prototype production and public presentations of the studio’s work. In collaboration with Pierre Jeanneret, Perriand developed a series of tubular steel chairs, which were—and are still today—hailed as icons of the machine age.

In 1940, she travelled to Japan as an official advisor on industrial design. When Japan joined the war, she found herself trapped in Vietnam from 1942 until 1946. During her exile, Perriand studied local techniques of woodwork and weaving. She returned to France intent on introducing straw and bamboo to modern design.

Back in France, Perriand continued her work with Le Corbusier and Prouvé. She was integral to the design of Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Marseille. She remained an influential figure in the modern movement until her death in 1999.
