Product Details

Product Description

This sizable and practical oak sideboard showcases a balanced blend of form and functionality, thanks to its skillfully crafted frame. The front of the sideboard features signature geometric elements and intricate handles that are characteristic of the renowned French design duo Guillerme et Chambron. The ample storage space is provided by four generous drawers and a built-in extendable shelf. The natural tone and warm texture of the oak add a delightful ambiance and a refreshing touch to any room. Jacques Chambron (1914-2001) and Robert Guillerme (1913-1990) started their designing journey after the Second World War. Guillerme gained his knowledge in design and architecture from the renowned école Boule, becoming a distinguished graduate first in his class in 1934. Chambron, on the other hand, graduated from the School of Applied Arts in Reims. The two met during their imprisonment in a Prussian prison camp during the war. Their shared passion for interior design laid the foundation of their profound friendship. In 1948, Chambron left his position as a painter and decorator on the Rue Nollet in Paris and joined Guillerme in Lille, in the North of France. It was in the next year that they met émile Dariosecq - a skilled cabinetmaker who owned a workshop near theirs. This meeting proved to be crucial for their future as they decided to establish their own company - Votre Maison, meaning "Your Home". Their plan was to create functional pieces of furniture that offered a beautiful design and could be used for everyday living. With their craftsmanship and artistic skills, they soon rose to worldwide fame. Albeit strong in character, their furniture designs feature expressive woodwork. Guillerme focused primarily on design, Chambron on commercial aspects and Dariosecq's workshop was involved in the manufacturing of the pieces. In total, Votre Maison produced over two thousand models, establishing a lasting legacy in the field of design.
