About the Item

Splendid and rare original bamboo lounge set from the 1950s, consisting of two armchairs and a coffee table, designed by Janine Abraham and Dirk Jan Rol. Black lacquered metal frame, expertly crafted bamboo, with a side section that lifts to form an armrest. This rare and iconic lounge set, dating back to the 1950s, represents a pinnacle of mid-century French design that embraces the "back to nature" philosophy. Composed of two majestic sculptural armchairs and a matching coffee table, it is the result of a collaboration between designers Janine Abraham and Dirk Jan Rol, pioneers in the use of natural materials such as bamboo and rattan in a modernist context. The set perfectly embodies the synthesis of traditional craftsmanship and architectural elegance. The armchairs feature a bold supporting structure of large-diameter bamboo canes, shaped and curved to form fluid, continuous lines that define an enveloping silhouette reminiscent of a shell or basket. The seat and backrest are crafted with a dense inlay of thinner bamboo or wicker slats, a technique that ensures visual lightness, flexibility, and ergonomic comfort, while allowing the passage of light and air. The "hollow" and geometric design enhances the intrinsic beauty of the natural material. Completing the ensemble, the circular coffee table adopts the same aesthetic and construction technique. The top also features a radial weave of bamboo slats, supported by a solid tripod structure that ensures stability while maintaining visual continuity with the seats. This living room set is more than just a piece of furniture, but a tangible testament to the golden age of designer furniture. Its original preservation, which retains the warm and authentic patina acquired over time, makes it an extremely valuable collector's item. Perfect for adding a touch of exotic elegance and historic charm to refined contemporary interiors, conservatories, or covered terraces, this Janine Abraham and Dirk Jan Rol set is a timeless example of how form meets function while celebrating nature. Dimensions: The armchairs are 88 cm high, 78 cm wide, and 58 cm deep, while the table has a diameter of 58 cm. Excellent condition.
