French Oak Daybed with Linen Upholstery by Guillerme et Chambron No. 02, 1960s
Designed by Guillerme et Chambron in the 1960s, this French oak daybed balances architectural lines with the warmth of oak and linen upholstery.
Crafted in oak, the frame is composed of clean architectural lines softened by subtle rounding at the edges. Vertical spindle detailing at each end introduces rhythm and repetition, giving the structure a sense of order while allowing light to pass through. The proportions are low and elongated, closer in feeling to built architecture than conventional seating.
A newly made custom mattress brings softness to the rigid geometry of the frame, while fresh upholstery in ivory linen by Mokum introduces warmth and tactility. The pale textile lightens the visual weight of the oak, creating a contrast that feels understated rather than decorative.
The scale allows the piece to move easily between functions. Along a wall or beneath a window, it creates a place for pause. In a bedroom or guest space, it extends the atmosphere of the room outward, offering something between seating and architecture.
Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron, both trained at the École Boulle, created work grounded in authenticity, balance, and craft—now synonymous with French 20th-century design.
