Set of 8 French Brutalist Oak + Rush Dining Chairs in the Manner of Charles Dudouyt, 1950s
The repeating ladder backs and geometric handwoven rush seats immediately caught our attention with this set of eight French dining chairs.
Made in France during the 1950s, each chair has a solid oak frame with substantial squared legs, rounded edges, and exposed wooden pegs that make the construction part of the design. The chairs are in the manner of Charles Dudouyt, whose work often paired substantial oak frames with traditional rush weaving.
Here, the seats are woven in four distinct sections that meet at the center, creating a pattern that becomes especially apparent when the chairs are viewed together around a table. We’re particularly drawn to the warmth of the oak and the variation that has developed across the set with age.
As a group of eight, they have the scale for a larger dining table while still feeling individual and handmade.
