An Overlooked Midcentury Modern Chair
The Weekend Chair, by French industrial designer Pierre Gautier Delaye
When we think of Midcentury Modern furniture, the emphasis is typically on Scandinavian designers. But this Weekend Chair, by French industrial designer Pierre Gautier Delaye, deserves a nod.
Designed in 1956, the chair was made of ash with straw upholstery. Delaye collaborated with cabinetmaker Lucien Vergnères to get it into production; it was presented as good-looking, affordably-priced furniture for young families.
The pieces were solidly built, and you can still find surviving examples on secondhand sites today.
