Rare Set of 4 Dining Chairs by Patrick Gingembre, France 1960s

A rare set of four dining chairs designed by Patrick Gingembre in France during the 1960s. Defined by a restrained silhouette and an inventive use of materials, these chairs embody the experimental spirit that shaped French modernist design in the post-war decades. Each chair features a single folded aluminium shell that forms both the seat and backrest, elegantly suspended within a polished tubular chrome frame. The construction is remarkably minimal, relying on only a few precisely considered elements to create a chair that appears almost weightless while remaining structurally robust. The gentle curvature of the aluminium provides surprising comfort and highlights Gingembre’s interest in balancing function with sculptural form. This set presents beautifully with an honest patina. The aluminium shells display light scratches and scattered wear consistent with age and use, while the chrome tubular frames remain in very good vintage condition. These traces of time enhance the character of the chairs without detracting from their striking appearance. An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a complete set of four original Patrick Gingembre dining chairs—highly suitable for both collectible interiors and refined contemporary spaces. Priced and sold as a set of 4 pieces. Measurements: H 75.5 x W 48.5 x D 49.5 x SH 44 cm
