Paire de fauteuils vers 1960, métal laqué noir et tissu vert

Le vert d'abord, un vert de mousse profond, dont la trame bouclée accroche la lumière en milliers de petits reliefs. Il habille un dossier droit et une assise généreuse, portés par un cadre de métal noir à section carrée qui dessine chaque fauteuil comme un trait d'encre. Les accotoirs, simples manchettes garnies, reposent sur de courts barreaux en échelle. Les deux sièges se font face en miroir, et la netteté des angles donne à la paire une tenue presque architecturale.

Après 1945, le métal s'impose, avec le contreplaqué, parmi les matériaux du mobilier moderne. La période que l'on nomme aujourd'hui mid-century modern s'étend jusqu'aux années 1970 et cultive la ligne simple, le refus de l'ornement, la franchise des matériaux. Cette paire, donnée pour 1960, en retient la leçon, avec une structure qui ne se cache pas et un garnissage qui ne cherche pas l'effet. Aucun créateur ni éditeur n'est cité, et les fauteuils se lisent donc par leur construction et par la justesse de leurs proportions.

Green comes first, a deep moss green whose looped weave catches the light in a thousand small reliefs. It dresses an upright back and a generous seat, carried by a square-section black metal frame that draws each chair like a stroke of ink. The arms, simple upholstered pads, rest on short ladder-like bars. The two chairs face each other as mirror images, and the crispness of their angles gives the pair an almost architectural bearing.

After 1945 metal took its place, alongside plywood, among the defining materials of modern furniture. The period now called mid-century modern runs on into the 1970s and prizes the plain line, the refusal of ornament and an honest use of materials. This pair, given as 1960, absorbs that lesson, with a structure that does not hide and upholstery that does not strive for effect. No designer or maker is named, so the chairs are read through their construction and the rightness of their proportions.
