Product description
A striking pair of "Contraste" chairs designed by French designer Pascal Mourgue for Forum Diffusion in 1982. These distinctive chairs combine bold geometric construction with elegant curved lines, reflecting the experimental spirit of French postmodern design during the early 1980s.
The sculptural black wooden frames feature dramatic sweeping backrests, angular supports and architectural open bases, creating a fascinating interplay between curves and straight lines. The contrasting cream-colored leather seats add a refined touch, emphasizing the graphic character of the design.
Highly decorative and visually distinctive, these chairs are equally appealing as functional seating and sculptural design objects.
