About the Item

French Brutalist-style oak side chairs, circa 1960, featuring boldly constructed frames and fully tilting backs. The design emphasizes geometric massing and raw material expression, with a strong architectural presence characteristic of mid-20th-century French Brutalist influence. The adjustable backrests introduce an unusual functional element, contrasting with the otherwise solid, sculptural form. While visually compelling, the chairs are noted as not being particularly comfortable, reinforcing their emphasis on aesthetic and structural expression over ergonomic refinement.
