This pair of low chairs is attributed to the French designer Charles Dudouyt, a leading figure of the Brutalist movement. These chairs are distinguished by their robust silhouette and sculptural aesthetic, characteristic of furniture from the first half of the 20th century.
Made of turned solid wood, these chairs feature a frame with ringed uprights and profiled crossbars. The seat is woven from natural straw, offering a textural contrast with the dark wood. The design demonstrates artisanal skill, rooted in the tradition of French rustic furniture revisited through the modernist lens of the era.
The chairs are in good condition, retaining an authentic patina that highlights the character of the wood. The frame remains solid and the straw is intact, reflecting careful use over the decades.
These chairs would find their place naturally in a wabi-sabi, rustic, or eclectic interior. They can serve as extra seating in a living room or bring a touch of organic warmth to a bedroom.
