About this seller
Product description
This dining table, made in France in the 1960s, is crafted entirely from solid elmwood and belongs to the tradition of French alpine furniture, where structure, durability, and material honesty are paramount. The design is defined by its architectural construction, with a thick rectangular top supported by a robust central base and clearly expressed joinery. These elements reflect a functional approach rooted in mountain environments, where furniture is conceived for longevity, stability, and everyday use rather than decorative effect.
While the designer remains unknown, the table resonates closely with the alpine modern vocabulary developed by Pierre Chapo and the mountain interiors conceived by Charlotte Perriand, particularly in the French Alps during the post-war period. Both designers drew upon vernacular forms and traditional woodworking techniques, translating them into a modern language defined by clarity and restraint.
