C-Chair
One of Marcel Gascoin’s most well-known pieces, the C-Chair Dining Chair was designed in 1947. The chair represents not only the practical power of Gascoin’s designs, but also the social conscience he demonstrated through the post-war years in France. The C-Chair was originally created out of necessity to fit into the new sizes of homes built at the end of World War II, where Gascoin made up for the lack of space by creating simple, functional furniture. Characterised by the juxtaposition between the voluminous and vigorous legs and inviting seat in a lighter woven cane, the quality of the C-Chair reveals itself through modern lines, sobriety and high-quality wooden workmanship.
