C-Chair French Cane

C-Chair French Cane

The aesthetic and practical C-Chair Dining Chair by Marcel Gascoin, designed in 1947, was initially 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 strong legs and an inviting seat in cane, straw or fabric, the quality of the C-Chair reveals itself through modern lines and high-quality wooden workmanship. Designed for apartment living, this chair has a small footprint.

French designer Marcel Gascoin (1907-1986) was one of the leading furniture designers of the post-war era. He is recognised for the vital role he played in the reconstruction of France after the Second World War, when his modular storage units and matching sets of wooden furniture, which focused on clean aesthetics and functionality, became a staple for French households.
