Elm chairs Maison Regain

Set of brutalist chairs in solid elm and leather – Maison Regain – 1970s

Set of brutalist chairs published in the 1970s by Maison Regain.

Iconic models of 1970s French design, these chairs perfectly embody the brutalist aesthetic: clean lines, architectural structure and emphasis on raw materials.

Entirely crafted from solid elm, they feature a substantial and perfectly balanced structure. The warm grain of the wood, characteristic of Regain pieces, brings depth and authenticity. The visible joinery and generously proportioned uprights emphasize their sculptural character.

The seat and backrest are upholstered in thick 3 mm leather, beautifully patinated over time. Stretched over the wooden frame, the leather provides firm, natural comfort while enhancing the piece’s minimalist aesthetic. The combination of solid elm and full-grain leather creates a harmonious contrast between rustic charm and refinement.

The structures have been checked and are perfectly stable. The wood has been cleaned and treated to reveal the full richness of its grain. The leather has been carefully maintained to preserve its suppleness and original character. Minor signs of wear are present.

These brutalist Maison Regain chairs integrate seamlessly into both contemporary interiors and wabi-sabi, minimalist, or vintage settings. They pair beautifully with a solid wood or travertine table, as well as more architectural interiors.
