The duo of Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron and their company, Votre Maison, denote a landmark of French mid-century design history. Robert Guillerme, who designed most of the work, possessed a limitless creative ambition, producing designs for everything from grand dressers and sideboards to beautiful sofas like this model.
This model visually represents the very reason Votre Maison and Guillerme et Chambron significantly influenced French design history. From every angle, this sofa’s design has unique solutions that are unmistakable and blur the line between furniture and sculpture. The frame is striking through its composition, yet the look is enhanced even further thanks to the three back cushions, which immediately draw the eye with their playful geometry. Like most of their designs, this sofa model displays a beautiful contrast between the wooden frame and the elegant light fabric. This model also shows how Guillerme et Chambron pieces possess an unusual flare. In this case, the brightly coloured tiled corner table is the outstanding element of the design. The tiles are framed by the light oak and serve both an aesthetic and a functional role. Such a detail shows expert craftsmanship and creativity. As a versatile design statement, this piece can work beautifully as a standalone focal point or integrated into a broader arrangement of contemporary and vintage furnishings. It’s balance of function and artistry reflects the 20th century desire to elevate utilitarian objects into expressions of aesthetic refinement.
Through their establishment of Votre Maison, Guillerme et Chambron significantly influenced how to blend functional and aesthetic choices. With this sofa model, both designers effortlessly highlight how certain stylistic decisions can create harmony through forms and the use of negative space.
