French Modernist Accent Chair by Paul Legeard, 1970s - 2 Available
Constructed from tubular chrome, a French Modernist accent chair by Paul Legeard dating back to the 1970s.
The frame traces a continuous architectural line from base to backrest, bending into a cantilevered form that lifts the seat with a sense of ease. The metal reads as both support and outline, its reflective surface catching light in thin, controlled highlights that emphasize the chair’s geometry.
The seat and backrest are upholstered in deep brown velvet, their surfaces absorbing light into a muted, velvety depth. The forms are gently rounded and rectilinear at once, with softened rectangles, while the backrest floats slightly behind the seat plane. The chrome base curves outward before returning inward, forming a grounded yet weightless stance.
Placed within an interior, it operates as a focal point—equally suited to a reading corner, or the edge of a living room.
Sold and priced individually.
