Vintage French Brutalist 'Barbarian' Accent Chair by Nicolas Blandin - 2 Available
A French Brutalist accent chair from the 1990s, the Barbarian chair, the form crafted by Nicolas Blandin in hammered and gilded iron, its irregular surfaces and elongated elements giving the piece a primitive, almost ritual quality.
The hand-worked metal carries the marks of its making, while the aged gilded finish shifts between warm gold and darker, more subdued tones.
The tall, graphic back is defined by a series of pointed iron forms, rising above the seat like an abstracted spine. Circular hammered medallions punctuate the structure, creating a deliberate contrast between organic texture and geometric shape. The slender legs continue the language of the frame, giving the chair an unexpectedly light stance beneath its substantial metal construction.
Reupholstered in ivory textured fabric, the seat introduces a softness that balances the severity of the iron. The neutral upholstery allows the gilded surface to remain the focus, while making the chair equally at home against plaster, stone, or richly layered interiors.
Sold and priced individually.
