André Sornay, pair of dining chairs, teak, ash, lacquered wood, France, 1950s/1960s
This set of chairs is exemplary of his later work and showcases his innovative use of the patented tigette system: a modular construction technique that defined this phase of his career. With his final major invention, André Sornay demonstrated a remarkable capacity for self-reflection and innovation, rethinking his design approach to align with the evolving needs of his era. He introduced a groundbreaking concept: furniture constructed entirely from removable components, allowing for flexible assembly, transport, and adaptation; an idea well ahead of its time.
The structure of the chair is spare and orderly, yet visually engaging, thanks to a careful play of line, proportion, and contrast. Despite the geometric rigidity, there is a quiet warmth and boldness to the design. The teak/ash frame and the dark grey color field keep the piece from appearing cold or clinical. The design perfectly encapsulates the 1950s modern ethos.
