Concrete chairs and concrete seats.

It sounds crazy but yes, we did a whole collection of concrete chairs, concrete armchairs, concrete bar stool and more. And you know what? If you’ve done it with the right angle and curvature, it’s super comfy. After a bunch of prototypes we’ve found the perfect match.

The Hauteville concrete chair

It begins with the Hauteville concrete chair. Once upon a time, the designers Henri Lavallard-boget et Julie Legros were exploring a disused sanatorium. By chance they stumbled upon an old school resin chair shell from the 50’s. Nobody knows how, but they came up with the idea of remaking this model in concrete instead of resin. They started working hard with cement, fibreglass and steel rod to make the dream happened. Months later, they did it. They managed to put all together to make the first concrete chair in the world and unexpectedly, the concrete chair was super comfy. When they came to show us the finished project, we loved it so much that we challenged them to create a complete collection of concrete seats.

Concrete armchairs

You can’t get a range of concrete chairs and seats out without going through the design of armchairs. Our two new designers have well passed this stage, and the two Hauteville concrete armchairs were born. The high concrete armchair fits perfectly at the end of a dining table, in an office facing your computer, or in a waiting room. The low concrete armchair will be ideal to read your book in your living room, or next to your fireplace. Lighter and more durable than a club chair, it is nonetheless iconic.

Concrete counter chair and concrete bar stool

They are the centrepiece of a bar or kitchen. Bar stools and counter chairs are the icing on the cake of decoration. The design of these seats is like the other items of the collection: the smooth, soft-touch concrete hugs your lower back. Only the height changes between our two models. The concrete bar stool seat is 77 cm high, while the concrete counter chair seat is 66 cm high.

Wood and concrete chairs

Combining raw concrete with plywood, another beautiful tribute to building materials, and what a contrast. It is the perfect balance between brutalism and elegance. In the continuity of the Hauteville collection, our designers have created three models combining wood and concrete, the concrete chair with wooden leg, the concrete counter chair with wooden leg, and one of our products that undoubtedly has the most character, the concrete rocking chair with wooden runner.

Original concrete benches and stools

Browse through our other collections, and you will see other more original types of seating. The singleton collection includes a tooth-like concrete stool and the perspective collection includes a concrete bench that follows the lines of the items of the same collection.
