Guillerme et Chambron Oak Cabinet For Votre Maison, France, 1960s

Product Details

Product Description

Guillerme and Chambron are widely recognized as the creators of some of the most iconic French furniture designs of the second half of the 20th century. This particular model exemplifies their emphasis on functionality, timelessness, and quality, evoking the organic style prevalent in mid-century Scandinavian designs. The cabinet's solid oak construction stands out as a defining feature, accentuated by its wide surfaces and strict rectangular shape that highlight the designers' artistry and skill. On the left side of the cabinet, a versatile shelving system with four differently-sized shelves is revealed behind a cabinet door, while the right side comprises three drawers with impeccable dovetail joinery and an above-compartment reminiscent of a writing desk with an open top and a supplementary shelf. To complete the seemingly endless storage space, a single shelf rests on the top of the right side. The cabinet's personality is enhanced by the minute details, including metal handles, a removable ornament on the right side, visible bolts, and carefully carved surfaces and edges, with the symmetrically arranged decorative handles contributing to its sleek and uncluttered facade. While unassuming in design, the cabinet exudes a dignified air characteristic of Guillerme and Chambron's distinctive approach to furniture-making, emphasizing not only impeccable craftsmanship but also the longevity of the pieces they create. This cabinet is no exception, built to accompany its owner for a lifetime. This vintage piece is in good condition considering its age and usage, with minor scratches and marks on the wood. It measures 170 cm W x 50,5 cm D x 175 cm H. Guillerme, a graduate of the école Boulle in architecture and furniture design, partnered with decorator Jacques Chambron in Lille in 1948, establishing Votre Maison, a collaboration with master cabinet maker émile Dariosecq, that revolutionized furniture design and craftsmanship. The company defined a new concept of furnishings that became well-known for its outstanding creativity, originality, and quality, marking a significant moment in French design history. Votre Maison continued to produce furniture well into the 20th century, with Hervé Chambron, Jacques's son and a graduate of the école Boulle, taking over in 1983. We take great care in packing and shipping this cabinet to ensure that it reaches you in perfect condition. Complimentary shipping is available within the Netherlands.
