French Elm + Cognac Leather Bench by Maison Regain, 1970s - 2 Available
A French bench by Maison Regain from the 1970s, defined by the warmth of elm and the richness of cognac leather.
The slatted elm frame gives the piece a sense of rhythm and structure, with each length of wood revealing the natural variation of the grain. The construction is simple and deliberate, characteristic of Maison Regain’s approach to French furniture of the period—honest materials, visible craftsmanship, and forms designed around the character of the wood.
A thick cognac leather cushion rests across the frame, introducing softness against the linear structure. The warm leather develops a natural patina over time, complementing the honeyed tones of the elm and giving the bench an easy, lived-in quality.
It’s a piece that balances utility with presence. Long enough to anchor a wall or sit at the foot of a bed, while its low, restrained profile keeps the room feeling open. The combination of slatted wood and leather makes it equally suited to an entry, living space, or bedroom.
Sold and priced individually.
About Maison Regain
Maison Regain was a French atelier active in the 1960s and '70s, celebrated for its architectural furniture. Working in the spirit of Pierre Chapo and Charlotte Perriand, the studio embraced a Brutalist ethos tempered by warmth—emphasizing pure forms, honest joinery, and the expressive grain of French hardwoods.
Each piece reflects a distinctly regional modernism: minimalist yet grounded, rustic yet exacting. Maison Regain’s work continues to resonate for its refined balance of mass, material, and restraint.
