A unique vintage hand made chair which is constructed with three pieces of wood all held together by a single wooden splint. Perhaps a project piece for a student or designer. No marks so we have no further information. Easily taken apart. This one is in fair condition with some signs of age as detailed below.
At time of listing we had two of these available. There are images of both chairs in this listing. The shapes of the cuts are a little different.
Sourced: in Normandy, France
Origin: French
Age: circa 1970-80’s
Producer details: French made item by an unknown producer 50+ years ago
Materials: wood
Size roughly: 118h x 38 x 43 cm – 47h x 15 x 17 inches extreme measurements (seat 38 x 32 cm – 15 x 12.5 inches) – dimensions of the two chairs may differ very slightly
Condition: in vintage condition with signs of previous use, wear and scratches to paint, made from thick hardboard so the bases have spread a little where the wood fibre has been under pressure – you may consider trimming the bases a little but working fine as is, the way it fits together results in a surprisingly solid feel but due to the design this will not be as stable as solidly fixed together chair, please see all pictures

Shipped from France
