Guillerme & Chambron for Votre Maison, solid oak, fabric, France, 1950s
This pair of ottomans by Guillerme and Chambron for Votre Maison dates to the 1950s and reflects the duo’s thoughtful approach to form and material. Crafted in oak, the frames show their characteristic balance of sturdiness and refinement, with gently tapered legs that give the pieces a light, graceful stance. The cushioned seats are upholstered in patterned fabric, adding softness and a touch of color to the warm oak structure. Both practical and inviting, the ottomans capture the honest craftsmanship and quiet charm that define the work of Guillerme and Chambron.
The French designer duo Jacques Chambron (1914-2001) and Robert Guillerme (1913-1990) started their production postwar. Robert Guillerme studied design and architecture at the École Boule and graduated first in his class in 1934. Meanwhile, Jacques Chambron graduated from the School of Applied Arts in Reims. During the Second World War, the two met in a stalag, a Prussian prisoner camp, while being imprisoned by the Germans in East Prussia and started a great friendship based on their intense and deep passion for interior design. In 1948, Chambron resigned from his job as a painter and decorator on the Rue Nollet in Paris to move to Lille, in the North of France and join Guillerme. A year later, the two met cabinetmaker Émile Dariosecq, who was the owner of a workshop close by. It was during this meeting, that they decided to create their own company. They named it “Votre Maison”, meaning “Your Home”, which became the soul of the company. With this, they wanted to create pieces that focused on functionality combined with a beautiful design useful for daily life, by which they created a worldwide reputation. Most of the furniture designed by this duo shows a strong character and has a great expressive woodwork. The three of them divided their work equally. Overall, Guillerme worked as a designer, Chambron as a commercial, and Dariosecq’s workshop manufactured the pieces. Throughout their career, ‘Votre Maison’ produced over two thousand models, leaving a lasting mark in the world of design.
Kindly note that the fabric is in used condition.
