Renowned for their innovative, high-quality furniture, Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron combined elegant form with straightforward functionality to create their timeless designs. The “Juliette" is one of their most notable series, designed for their company, Votre Maison. This sofa deserves its title of iconic, both in terms of quality and design.

This sofa features a solid oak frame characterised by its sculptural construction. This material is associated with the duo’s most famous models, as oak is both extremely durable and beautiful, displaying a lovely grain throughout. The backrest is composed of eleven curved spindles, which create a round and inviting silhouette that is a hallmark of Guillerme and Chambron’s style. The armrests, also featuring a curved structure, extend seamlessly into the legs, giving the piece a cohesive and organic look. To ensure functionality and comfort, as expected of mid-century modern furniture, the generous seat and back cushions are plus and upholstered in an elegant off-white fabric. The back is adorned with tufted buttons that add depth to the fabric upholstery. The cushions are held securely in place by fabric loops to ensure they remain properly positioned even after prolonged periods of use. The woodworking truly shows the overall quality of this sofa: the frame is refined and the attention to the smallest detail shows the design and manufacturing skills of Guillerme et Chambron.

This two-seater sofa truly exemplifies the thoughtful design and classic appeal of Guillerme et Chambron’s work, blending natural materials with mid-century modern aesthetics. Whether used to define a space or to provide additional seating, the “Juliette” sofa remains a sought-after piece for collectors and design enthusiasts alike.

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. 

Condition:

In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chair has been reupholstered recently in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information.

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.

This stunning armchair, designed by the renowned French duo Guillerme et Chambron, showcases an exquisite blend of elegant aesthetics and rustic design elements. Crafted in the mid-20th century by Votre Maison, the model reminds us how form and elegance blend together in the duo's exceptional distinctive craftsmanship style.

The solid oak wood frame provides a sturdy yet elegant structure, showcasing the beautiful material. The sculptural form allows for a dynamic visual movement between the different accents of this model. The back is composed of seven oak spindles, standing detached from the arms. The armrests are carved with great precision to serve a double purpose: an aesthetic role, and a functional one thanks to the cushioning. The frame is striking through its composition, yet the look is enhanced even further thanks to the upholstered cushions, which immediately draw the eye with their playful geometry. Like most of their designs, this chair model displays a beautiful contrast between the wooden frame and the elegant light fabric. The material is not only visually appealing but also selected for its comfort and durability, ensuring that the chair is as practical as it is beautiful. This model also shows how Guillerme et Chambron pieces possess an unusual flare.

Guillerme et Chambron’s work not only represents the fusion of function and form, but also exemplifies the mid-century modern and brutalist aesthetic - which they played a pivotal role in shaping. Their emphasis on quality craftsmanship and the use of noble materials like oak has undeniably left a lasting imprint in the world of furniture making, solidifying their legacy in the French design landscape during the mid-century era.
