NOTICE
Jacques Quinet (1918-1992), French designer and decorator, is renowned for his elegant, understated furniture creations, perfectly embodying the spirit of mid-20ᵉ century French design. His armchairs, among the most emblematic of his work, are distinguished by their refinement and perfect balance between aesthetics and comfort. Made from noble materials such as oak, mahogany, and brass, often combined with luxurious fabrics, Quinet's armchairs express a discreet modernity, marked by clean lines and impeccable finishes.
Quinet armchairs are characterized by simple yet carefully proportioned forms, where every detail is thought out to offer comfort and elegance. Straight lines and softened angles are favored, with gently curved armrests and padded backrests that comfortably support the back. Quinet surrounds himself with the finest craftsmen, giving his creations an exceptional level of craftsmanship, much sought-after by collectors today.
His armchairs are part of a modernist French design tradition, close to that of Jean Royère and André Arbus, but with a more minimalist and functional signature. Jacques Quinet's armchairs are prized for their ability to integrate a contemporary space with a timeless, refined touch, testifying to his talent for blending simplicity and sophistication in furniture.
