An exceptional set of four Dordogne dining chairs selected by Charlotte Perriand for Robert Sentou in France during the 1960s. Exemplifying Perriand’s enduring commitment to authenticity, functionality, and material honesty, these chairs reflect her deep respect for traditional craftsmanship combined with a resolutely modern sensibility. The chairs feature elegant ash wood frames, prized for their strength and fine grain, paired with beautifully hand-woven straw seats and backs. The weaving introduces warmth and texture, while the clean, minimalist wooden structure gives the chairs a quiet architectural presence. Every detail speaks to balance—between structure and softness, rural tradition and modern design. Defined by restrained proportions and natural materials, the Dordogne chairs embody a pure and timeless elegance. Visually light yet robustly constructed, they are ideally suited for everyday use while remaining highly desirable as collectible design objects. The set is presented in good, original condition, with the wood and straw showing a gentle, authentic patina consistent with age. The craftsmanship and integrity of the materials remain beautifully intact. A rare and highly collectible ensemble, perfect for elevating a dining space with understated mid-century sophistication and the unmistakable spirit of Charlotte Perriand. The listed price is for the set of 4 pieces.
