Extendable Oak Dining Table by Guillerme et Chambron for Votre Maison, France second half of 20th century (sold)
Extendable Oak Dining Table by Guillerme et Chambron for Votre Maison, France second half of 20th century (sold)
With a robust build and a smart extension providing extra space on the top, this model is in many ways representative of the French duo Guillerme et Chambron’s artistic ideals.
The design shows Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron’s unique visions in the table’s decorative and functional details. Compared to the duo’s other models, this table is more pared down, relying mostly on the natural appeal of the oak, and its decorative legs. Unlike in most mid-century models, ornamentation was an important part of the duo’s creations, and while apparent, they were never overwhelming. This balance kept the pieces’ elegance, like in the case of this dining table.
Furthermore, this table is full of character and offers expressive and sculptural functionalism. Guillerme et Chambron’s table designs are well-known for their distinctive appearance and multi-functionality; this model in particular shows how decorative design and functionality were equally important for the designers, being as sensitive to the use of furniture in everyday life as to the creation of innovative design.

The modern look of this table carries an industrial quality, yet retains the refined edge of late 20th century design. Each component of this table was designed with functionality and elegance in mind, culminating in a piece that transcends simple utility. It is a striking blend of form and function - the swivel top offers not just practicality, but also a touch of modern charm that can enhance the decor and warmth of an interior.

Objects like this make striking focal points in any modern home and this table is no exception.
Coffee and side tables, in general, serve as design staples in living spaces for a multitude of reasons: beyond their utilitarian function of providing a surface for drinks and books, they anchor a room, creating a focal point around which furniture and conversation revolve. Overall, the table equally emphasizes function and visual interest, creating an instantly arresting aesthetic.
