Charles Flandre Set of Eight Naturalistic Dining Chairs in Oak

Charles Flandre, set of eight chairs, oak, France, 1960s Designed by French cabinetmaker Charles Flandre, this set of eight chairs combines a rustic and natural expression with a clearly defined construction. The oak displays pronounced grain and warm tonal variations, lending each chair its own character. Broad wooden seats rest on splayed, gently tapered legs, while two slender uprights support the slightly curved backrests. Subtle irregularities in the contours soften the angular framework and emphasize the organic qualities of the wood. The design balances rustic simplicity with sculptural detail, allowing the material and proportions to define its character.
