Renowned for their innovative, high-quality furniture, Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron combined elegant form with straightforward functionality to create their distinctive designs. The French duo established their company, Votre Maison, in 1949, working alongside master cabinetmaker Émile Dariosecq, whose workshop was responsible for manufacturing their furniture. Guillerme drew the furniture designs while Chambron played the part of salesman, and together they developed a recognisable style.

This oak armchair from the 1950s visually represents the very reason Votre Maison significantly influenced French design history, combining natural materials with the comfort and craftsmanship associated with the duo's work. The piece features a sculptural oak frame, a hallmark of the duo's style. The wooden structure rests on four sturdy legs, with the front legs extending upwards to support the carefully shaped armrests. The armrests are carved with great precision to serve a double purpose: an aesthetic role and a functional one. The legs are similarly sculpted, with subtle changes in their thickness and shape adding visual interest to the construction. The backrest has an open slatted wooden structure, concealed by a generously upholstered cushion that rises above the seat. The gray back cushion is adorned with tufted buttons arranged in horizontal rows, adding depth to the textured grey upholstery. The thick padding and slightly reclined position provide additional comfort. A broad seat cushion completes the chair, with its upholstered body resting within the oak structure. Like most of their designs, this chair model displays a beautiful contrast between the wooden frame and the elegant fabric. Thanks to the ergonomic curves and thick, comfortable seat and back cushions, this chair is perfect for cosy lounging.

Guillerme et Chambron's work not only represents the fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern design, but also exemplifies the distinctive French mid-century aesthetic they helped shape. Their emphasis on quality craftsmanship and the use of noble materials like oak has left a lasting imprint on the world of furniture making. Whether placed in a living room, library or reading corner, this armchair offers an inviting seating experience while introducing the recognisable character of Votre Maison furniture into an interior.

This pair of dining chairs is designed in the manner of Charles Dudouyt, one of the most distinctive figures in French decorative arts of the interwar period. Dudouyt’s work is often celebrated for its rustic charm, and masterful handling of wood, bridging tradition with the evolving aesthetics of Art Deco and modern design.

This pair embodies early 20th century qualities through its grounded presence and confident use of materials. This design is all about the wooden structures. The discreet joinery and seamless construction reflect the French emphasis on detail and quality, elevating the chairs beyond just function to objects of aesthetic value. The chairs are made from solid oak in a rich, dark stain that accentuates the natural grain to create subtle warmth and depth. Adding to their appeal are the geometric backrests, which provide firm support and a subtle architectural detail to the design. The carved elements on the sides showcase the Art Deco interest in geometric adornments. While dining chairs are generally more utilitarian types of seating, this pair still manages to look cosy and warm thanks to the woven rope seats. Moreover, each leg features carved and rounded detailing, lending rhythm and visual weight to the structures. This play between solidity and ornamentation is characteristic of French designs of the era, where pieces were not only functional but also a statement of craftsmanship and artistic individuality.

The essence of early 20th century French design is beautifully captured by these chairs. Functional yet sculptural, rustic yet refined, this pair stands as an enduring testament of the striking balance only master woodworkers are able to create.

Christian Krass (1868–1957) was a French cabinetmaker and furniture designer based in Lyon, he became an important figure in the city’s decorative arts during the first half of the 20th century. His work included seating, tables, desks and cabinets, often combining carefully worked woods with the geometric forms and refined materials associated with Art Deco. This armchair, which dates back to circa 1930s, applies Krass’s skill to a compact and elegant seating design.

The armchair is defined by its exposed wooden frame, which combines straight lines with subtle curves. Four tapered legs support the upholstered seat, with the front legs continuing upward to meet the armrests and creating a clear structural outline. The armrests have a particularly interesting shape, extending horizontally into a carved element before turning downward. Their broad wooden surfaces and warm reddish-brown tone contrast with the patterned upholstery while keeping the construction clearly visible. The backrest is generously upholstered and slightly curved, with rounded upper corners that soften the otherwise geometric frame. Its shape follows naturally into the broad seat below, creating comfortable proportions within a relatively compact structure. The green and cream upholstery introduces a small repeating geometric pattern that complements the straight lines of the wood while adding texture and visual depth. The clean junctions between the legs, seat rails, arms, and back show the quality of the woodworking, with each element contributing equally to the overall composition.

The chair captures the more restrained side of French Art Deco, where decorative effect could be achieved through proportion, material and carefully controlled lines. Its scale makes it particularly suitable as a desk chair, side chair or additional seating in a living room or bedroom. It represents an interesting example of French furniture design from the 1930s.

Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron established Votre Maison in 1949 together with cabinetmaker Émile Dariosecq, and developed a distinctive body of French furniture during the post-war decades. Their work is particularly associated with solid oak, sculptural woodworking and upholstered seating, with the wooden structure often remaining clearly visible as an important part of the design. This pair of armchairs from the 1960s brings these characteristics together through expressive oak frames and generously upholstered seats and backs.

The chairs are built from solid oak frames with a particularly distinctive construction at the back. A series of vertical wooden spindles follows the curved outline of each backrest, creating an open framework that remains fully visible from behind. The spindles vary in their angle and position, giving the rear of the chairs a strong architectural rhythm while supporting the wide upholstered back cushions. These cushions curve along the backs and are finished with button tufting, adding depth to the textured striped fabric. Broad seat cushions sit above the upholstered lower sections, creating a comfortable body within the exposed wooden structure. The armrests have a gently shaped profile and extend forward to meet thick upright supports, which continue downward into curved front legs. Their rounded surfaces highlight the natural grain and warm tone of the oak. At the rear, the lower ends of the frame curve outward into small feet, adding another carved detail to the silhouette. The muted red, beige and cream tones of the upholstery complement the oak while allowing the elaborate woodworking to remain in focus.

The pair shows why Guillerme et Chambron’s seating is so recognisable within French design of the period. Their furniture gave traditional cabinetmaking a highly individual character through carved oak, unusual structural solutions and an emphasis on comfort. These armchairs are particularly effective as a pair as their open spindle backs make them interesting from every direction.

Alain Richard (1926–2017) was a French furniture and interior designer who graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in 1949, where he studied under René Gabriel. He established his own agency in 1952 and became part of a generation of French designers developing furniture for serial production during the post-war period. His work included furniture for Meubles TV and lighting for Disderot, alongside increasingly large interior and architectural projects. This model “704” armchair from the 1960s shows his interest in clean construction, contrasting materials, and furniture designed around clear functional elements.

Model “704” combines a compact upholstered seat and backrest with exposed wood and metal elements. The thick seat cushion has a rectangular shape with softly rounded corners, while the backrest is slightly inclined to provide a comfortable sitting position. The piece is upholstered in a textured olive-green fabric that gives the chair a warm, tactile appearance. The armrests feature padded horizontal sections that appear almost suspended on either side of the seat. A shaped wooden frame runs beneath the seat and continues upward behind the backrest, its warm tone contrasting with the upholstery. Dark screws remain visible along the side of the wooden seat rail, adding a small technical detail to the construction. Four slender metal legs are splayed outward beneath the body, countering the volume of the upholstered sections and giving the chair a light stance. The combination of upholstery, wood, and metal creates a clear separation between each part of the chair while keeping the overall composition balanced.

Richard received several important distinctions throughout his career, including the Prix René Gabriel in 1964, and this chair is proof of his talent. Its combination of French modernist design and a balanced mix of materials makes it an interesting addition to a living room, study or reading area, particularly for collectors of post-war French furniture.

Airborne was founded in France by Charles Bernard in 1951 and became known for a wide range of modern seating designs. By the 1970s, the company was producing furniture that explored modularity and new approaches to upholstered seating, allowing individual elements to be combined into larger arrangements. The “Patate” was designed as an ensemble of individual chair, corner and pouf units, with different configurations that could be created from them. This six-piece example captures that versatility.

There is a great balance in the execution of this sofa, achieved through the clever modular design and the continuous curves of its individual elements. Each module has a deep seat and a broad backrest that opens outward toward the upper edge, giving the seating an inviting, enveloping shape. Stitched lines radiate across the backrests and converge toward the seats, creating folds in the upholstery and emphasising the rounded construction. The thick seat cushions have a relaxed feel, with gathered fabric around their edges giving them a soft and rich appearance. The entire sofa is upholstered in soft brown fabric, in which the texture brings out different shades as light moves across the folds and curved surfaces. The six elements include straight seating modules and a rounded corner section, allowing the sofa to form the large curved arrangement shown or to be reorganised according to the space it occupies. This adaptability was fundamental to the original “Patate” system, and it maintains its functionality today.

The “Patate” represents the relaxed and increasingly informal approach to seating that made modular sofas such a distinctive part of 1970s interiors. Its six separate elements allow the composition to change with the space, while the deep seats make it particularly suited to lounging and conversation. As a piece of Airborne history, the “Patate” remains a distinctive example of French furniture from the 1970s.

The company Votre Maison is one that has left an indelible mark on the history of French design. The 'José' armchair, designed by Robert Guillerme along with his sales partner Jacques Chambron, and manufactured in Emile Dariosecq’s workshop, was created at Votre Maison during the 1970s.

Made of high-quality oak with a beautiful sandy fabric, this ‘José’ armchair is truly eye catching. The carefully carved geometrical patterns on the backrest are symmetrically arranged, with a shape reminiscent of four leaf clovers, making the chair an interesting and aesthetically pleasing sight from the back as well. The light fabric works beautifully with the warm brown wooden structure of the chair. The edges of the frame and legs are softly rounded, giving a gentle feel. The arms are carved in an open and angular construction, bringing elegance to the piece.

Thanks to the appealing combination of materials, design and craftsmanship, the ‘José’ chair is immediately recognisable. Guillerme et Chambron’s pieces were manufactured in small series, therefore they are highly collectible.

About the designer:

Robert Guillerme graduated in 1934 from the École Boule where he excelled in architecture and furniture design. After the Second World War he moved to Lille, in the north of France, where he decorated homes and designed furniture for the well regarded Rogier workshops. 

In 1948, Guillerme was joined by his long-time friend, decorator Jacques Chambron in Lille. The following year Guillerme and Chambron met master cabinet maker Émile Dariosecq, owner of a woodworking shop and the company Votre Maison was born. Together, they defined and imposed a new furniture concept. Thanks to their distinctive creativity, originality, and quality, the Votre Maison quickly became well-known. 

The Votre Maison marked the history of French design. Guillerme drew the furniture designs while Chambron played the part of salesman, welcoming and advising clients. The power duo was complemented by Dariosecq, whose workshop took charge of the manufacturing. Together, they defined new furnishings concepts. Well-crafted chair back, polished wood and thick cushions make the reputation of their armchairs and sofas. Votre Maison continued to produce furniture right into the Twentieth Century, with Jacques’ son Hervé Chambron, a designer and graduate of the Ecole Boulle, having taken the reins in 1983.

Art Deco, the glamorous and influential design movement that emerged in France during the early 20th century, left an indelible mark on the world of furniture design. Characterised by its bold geometric shapes, rich materials, and luxurious aesthetics, Art Deco transformed the way we perceive interior spaces. It was a testament to the fusion of form and function, and this ethos is beautifully exemplified in this exquisite lounge chair.

This lounge chair is defined by its generous, rounded silhouette, with thickly upholstered arms that curve forward and frame the seat in a protective, almost enveloping way. The deep seat and softly padded backrest create a sense of weight and comfort, while the proportions remain carefully controlled so the form never feels heavy. The body is upholstered in a luxurious off-white mohair, which delights the eye thanks to its softness and texture, transforming the piece into a uniquely charming accent. The plush mohair also adds a tactile richness and warmth that stays true to the Art Deco commitment to durability and high-quality materials. Paired with the brown of the tapered wood that composes its legs, the lounge chair evokes a natural feel.

Perfect for those who value style and quality, this lounge chair brings a bold, timeless charm to any room. With its silhouette and rich, versatile colour, this piece combines style and comfort to infuse a space with Art Deco elegance.

The bergère chair is a French, fully upholstered armchair with an exposed wooden frame that originated during the early 1700s. It emerged as a comfortable, "enclosed" alternative to the open-armed fauteuil, designed for lounging and conversational spaces rather than formal, rigid seating. 

This 1920s bergère-style chair represents a continuation of eighteenth century seating through its classic form adapted to more modern times. By the early 1900s, French designers began reinterpreting historical forms through the lens of current design movements, simplifying ornament while preserving the elegance and curvature associated with earlier furniture styles. The most distinctive feature is the continuous curved backrest, which sweeps downward into the arm supports in a single uninterrupted line. This rounded frame softens the look of the chair and creates an enveloping seating true to the bergère tradition. The exposed wooden structure outlines the silhouette with precision, while the organic brown tone stands out against the rich purple upholstery. The textile itself gives the chair much of its visual impact. Its deep tone and softness emphasise the fullness of the seat. Below, the slender tapered legs offer support and prevent the chair from appearing visually heavy despite its upholstered body.

The balance between historical influence and modern restraint gives the chair a distinctly refined character. While rooted in the bergère tradition, the simplified lines and pared down ornament ensure elegance achieved through silhouette, proportion, and material rather than decorative excess.

René Gabriel was instrumental in shaping the French design landscape during the mid-century era. His emphasis on quality craftsmanship and the use of noble materials like oak has left a lasting imprint on the world of furniture design. His work was closely associated with practical, well-constructed furniture that combined traditional woodworking techniques with the simplicity of modern design.

This set of three dining chairs, created in the manner of René Gabriel during the first half of the 20th century, reflects these principles through the restrained construction, carefully considered proportions and emphasis on the natural beauty of wood. The design of these chairs boasts a functional, well-thought-out structure, crafted from quality oak. The openness of the chairs is highlighted by the four slender horizontal slats of each backrest and the slender legs. The backrests have a gently curved outline, with the wooden uprights extending down to form the rear legs. The seats are made from wooden slats fixed within rectangular frames, allowing the grain and colour variation of the oak to remain visible throughout. At the heart of this set is the use of dark oak, a material known for its durability and longevity, as well as its unique charm. The wood has a rich brown tone with beautiful variations across the seats, backrests and frames, adding warmth to the otherwise geometric design. The simple construction and careful details give the set a cohesive look, with the repetition of the horizontal wooden elements creating a particularly attractive effect when the three chairs are arranged together.

Wood has never gone out of style, and pieces with an emphasis on a natural look continue to hold a particular appeal. These chairs are equally striking standing alone or as part of an interior with a medley of styles. Their organic colour makes them easy to adapt to a variety of settings, while their form allows them to sit comfortably around a dining table without appearing visually heavy.

Born in 1890 in France, René Gabriel was one of the leading figures of the modernist movement in Paris. From 1923 to 1950, he presented an innovative body of work, offering new vision on the way people could live in the 20th century. He became widely recognised for developing practical, well-made furniture intended for the reconstruction period following the Second World War. Appointed president of the Société des Artistes Décorateurs (SAD) at the Liberation, he steered French decoration towards more economical productions, with sharp lines, efficient joinery, and a preference for the authenticity of local woods over imported species.

Gabriel distinguished himself through the extreme simplicity and sturdiness of his designs, where a Cartesian aesthetic streamlined production. His work rejected unnecessary ornament in favour of robust construction, honest materials, and economical forms that could be produced efficiently without compromising quality. The design of this set of chairs are ingeniously functional and have a well-thought-out structure, crafted from oak. The chairs are built from a series of straightforward elements that work together with remarkable precision. The horizontal back slats create an open, lightweight appearance while providing comfortable support, and the slightly curved sides soften the otherwise rectilinear composition. The slatted wooden seats continue this emphasis on practicality, allowing the grain of the oak to remain fully visible while introducing subtle texture. The legs are gently tapered and connected by unobtrusive stretchers, giving the chairs excellent stability without adding unnecessary visual weight. Every joint is clearly expressed, making the construction itself part of the design rather than something to be concealed.

Model “103” belongs to René Gabriel’s body of work reflecting his enduring belief that good design should remain elegant through clarity of purpose, thoughtful craftsmanship, and an unwavering focus on function. Wood has never gone out of style, and pieces with an emphasis on a natural look are only gaining popularity today. These oak chairs are equally striking standing alone, or as part of an interior with a medley of styles.
