Victor Courtray, club chair, velvet, walnut, France, 1932

This lounge chair, conceived by the French designer Victor Courtray (1896-1987), represent a distinguished example from the formative phase of his career. During this period, Courtray's work was profoundly influenced by the eminent Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann, a leading authority in design since 1925. The early stage of Courtray's oeuvre is notable for its adherence to the Art Deco style, characterized by precise geometric forms and carefully calibrated proportions that amplify the perception of volume, particularly in the grand interiors of luxury hotels. Courtray's training as an interior designer is evident in his meticulous attention to the harmonious integration of elements within his compositions. In the original design, the gentle curvature of the bay windows were subtly mirrored in the rounded contours of the armrests, showcasing his refined approach to design coherence.
