An exquisite set of eight dining chairs from the 1930s by notable french designer André Sornay, meticulously restored to their original splendor.
Made out of rich walnut, these pieces have been impeccably refinished to highlight the natural beauty of the wood.
The chairs are characterized by subtly curved tapered backs and elegant sabre legs. The recent restoration included reupholstering the seats in soft camel leather, complemented by brass nailhead trim.
These chairs epitomize Sornay’s revolutionary approach to French design, which was influenced by the Bauhaus and de Stijl movements. As a member of the Union des Artistes Modernes (UAM), Sornay was at the forefront of uniting beauty with practicality, and this set of dining chairs is a testament to his commitment to modernizing French furniture design while maintaining accessibility and functionality.
