Why We Love It
Marcel Gascoin designed the C-Chair in 1947 as a response to the challenge with large families in small apartments in france after World War II. The slender footprint of the C-Chair that made it ideal for those compact spaces make it ever more appropriate for the bijou patios and gardens that characterize city living today – or simply to fit more people around a large table when dining al fresco.
- The garden gets an upgrade with the simple functionality of two of French architect and designer Marcel Gascoin’s most enduring iconic designs.
- A new outdoor version of the much-loved C-Chair – a dining chair originally designed in 1947 for post-war housing in France – is joined outside by a little-known Gascoin gem, the F-Chair.
- For the new outdoor versions, a combination of hardwearing and naturally durable teak and weatherproof woven cord, inspired by Gascoin’s nautical upbringing, makes the perfect material choice for high-quality exterior furniture.
- The slender footprint of the C-Chair that made it ideal for those compact spaces make it ever more appropriate for the bijou patios and gardens that characterize city living today – or simply to fit more people around a large table when dining al fresco.
- Both the C-Chair and the F-Chair are optimized for the outdoors in both their ergonomics and their materiality.
- Proportions have been fine-tuned to maximize comfort and frames have been carefully crafted with traditional joinery using plantation teak.
- The seats and backrests are tightly woven from an outdoor all-weather fiber made of an extruded polyethylene and twisted to resemble natural hyacinth woven furniture.
- The weave pattern creates triangle shapes from all four sides of the seat and backrest, converging at the center of each like an envelope.
- The woven cord captures the natural look of the indoor version, while being durable enough to withstand the elements outside.
- Teak’s naturally high oil content allows it to stay in fantastic condition in even the harshest of climates, without additional treatment, developing a beautiful silvery patina over time.
- The chairs only use farmed plantation teak with SVLK certification, which ensures biodiversity, sustainable forestry practices, and provides additional economic benefits to the local economy.
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
- Meets European strength and mechanical safety requirements for contract use.
