A pair of beechwood chairs by French designer Maurice Pré, C1950, typical of his minimalist style, which combined traditional fine cabinetmaking with functional design. They have been restored and reupholstered using an antique undyed hemp.
Maurice Pré (1907–1988) was a leading French designer and decorator of the post-war era. A graduate of the École Boulle in 1924, he began his career in Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann’s prestigious workshop, where he worked for eight years. After a period in Switzerland, he returned to Paris in 1934 and collaborated with several renowned architects. From 1935 onward, he worked independently, presenting furniture ensembles at the 1937 International Exhibition and the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs, and later on major public commissions, including for the Mobilier National and the Palais de l'Elysée.
