The story

Here’s a signature streamlined design by renowned French designer Jacques Adnet. It is the details found in this chair that make the piece especially noteworthy, including solid brass, spherical sabots at the ends of the feet. And “piqué sellier”, or saddle stitching, is prominent along the seams of the soft black leather for a handcrafted, trendy feel. The chair sits low to the ground, held by minimal iron feet for a simultaneously classic and inventive look. Truly a rare find, and in very good vintage condition, this armchair has a sleek profile that would lend itself well to many contemporary interiors.

About Jacques Adnet

Jacques Adnet (1900-1984) was a French architect and designer who directed the Compagnie des Arts Français from 1928-1959. His modernism combined chrome, glass and mirror with fine woods and, most famously, furniture covered in stitched saddle leather, a style associated with his work with Hermès. He also designed lighting and interiors for public and private clients. Collectors look for leather clad pieces and lighting of the 1940s and 1950s.
