Guillerme & Chambron Wardrobe in Oak with Carved Doors

Guillerme et Chambron, armoire, oak, France, 1960s

This grandiose wardrobe is a good example of excellent woodworking by virtue of the graphical designed door panels illustrating elongated, vertical lines and geometrical wooden carvings, which create a rhythmic pattern on the sliding doors. The designer duo has efficiently utilized the space of the wardrobe by adding an extra compartment on the side which is furnished with multiple shelves. Furthermore, plenty of storage space is available behind the sliding doors, such as shelves and two rail systems. The oak material has an incredibly warm texture that shows nice wooden grains and admirable patina, and in combination with the characteristic traits, the wardrobe gives the room a lively ambiance.

The French designer duo Jacques Chambron (1914-2001) and Robert Guillerme (1913-1990) started their production postwar. Many of the furniture designed by this duo this piece shows a strong character and has a great expressive woodwork. The duo installed themselves in an old factory were the machinery was used to make rifles. Guillerme & Chambron saw the potential of these machinery and decided to continue production as it was installed and used them for the design of their high back chairs. The line of different furniture pieces was made in small editions. They call their collection “Votre Maison” which means “Your home.”
