Quatre tabourets taillés dans le bois brut, d'esprit brutaliste

Le bois garde ici l'allure de la branche. Chaque tabouret pose une épaisse galette ronde, où se lisent les cernes et les nœuds, sur quatre pieds à peine équarris, encore marqués de restes d'écorce et de traces grises. Des traverses de même facture, simplement assemblées, relient les pieds près du sol. Les assises, d'un poli satiné, ont pris un ton de miel chaud, plus soutenu que celui des pieds, plus pâles et fendillés. Côte à côte, les quatre sièges composent un petit paysage de bois.

Le mot brutalisme vient de l'architecture. En 1955, l'historien Reyner Banham le popularise avec son essai The New Brutalism, en le rattachant au béton brut de Le Corbusier et à l'art brut. Le marché a depuis étendu le terme au mobilier : des marchands décrivent ainsi des tabourets en bois massif, souvent des tripodes en chêne, comme français des années 1960 et 1970. C'est dans ce sens d'usage que l'intitulé qualifie ces sièges de brutalistes. Aucun créateur ni atelier n'est nommé, et la fiche les classe dans le design des années 50-60.

Read in English

Here the wood keeps the look of the branch. Each stool sets a thick round slab, where rings and knots can be read, on four barely squared legs still marked with remnants of bark and grey traces. Stretchers of the same making, simply jointed, link the legs near the floor. The seats, with a satin sheen, have taken on a warm honey tone, deeper than that of the paler, finely split legs. Side by side, the four seats form a small landscape of wood.

The word Brutalism comes from architecture. In 1955 the historian Reyner Banham popularised it with his essay The New Brutalism, linking it to Le Corbusier's raw concrete and to art brut. The market has since stretched the term to furniture: dealers describe solid wood stools, often oak tripods, as French work of the 1960s and 1970s. It is in this sense of usage that the title calls these seats Brutalist. No designer or workshop is named, and the listing files them under 1950s and 1960s design.
