French Mid-Century Icons: Guillerme et Chambron Lounge Chairs

Authentic Provence is pleased to present a refined pair of French mid-century lounge chairs by celebrated design duo Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron, created for their iconic brand Votre Maison.

Dating to the 1950s, this pair of Elmyre model lounge chairs reflects the sculptural craftsmanship and architectural sensibility that made Guillerme et Chambron such distinctive voices in French modern design. Each chair is constructed in beautifully grained natural oak, showcasing the designers’ emphasis on bold structure, expressive joinery, and a strong, intentional silhouette.

What truly sets these chairs apart is the striking sculptural back framing. It is an architectural detail that gives each chair a strong visual presence while remaining beautifully balanced and functional. The profile stays relaxed and low, while the generously proportioned cushions create an inviting seat and a comfortable lounge height.

This pair is offered in excellent condition, with the woodwork preserving a rich natural warmth throughout. The chairs have also been newly reupholstered in an elegant Pierre Frey bouclé, adding softness, texture, and a refined contrast against the clean oak frames.

Whether placed as a pair in a curated living space, styled in a library, or used to anchor a more design-forward interior, these chairs bring both historical significance and enduring decorative appeal.
