Description :

Francois Carre was a French designer known for his innovative use of spring steel in outdoor furniture. His sunburst design became iconic in the early 20th century.

Era: These chairs date from circa 1920–1949, placing them squarely in the Art Deco to Mid-Century Modern transition.

Signature Feature: The sunburst pattern isn’t just decorative—it’s engineered to flex and return to shape, offering both comfort and resilience. The use of high-quality metal allows the seat to “spring back,” a hallmark of Carre’s patented designs.

This pair features the armless silhouette, which enhances their sculptural quality and makes them versatile for garden, patio, or interior use.  Likely made of wrought iron or spring steel.  


Dimensions : 35 in H
