The Roquebrune Chair by Eileen Gray was designed in 1927 for the terrace of her second house in Castellar, France. This unique armchair version is based off the original design but with additional armrests on its tubular steel frame.
The seat and backrest are made of hide leather, laced together on the back and underside, creating its distinctive, recognizable design. The deep seating area provides comfort, while the clean lines and unique lacing make it a standout piece in mid-century modern furniture. Buy the Roquebrune Armchair here, online in the USA & Canada.
