Long before he built the Maison de Verre, his celebrated house of glass and steel, Pierre Chareau was already rethinking what furniture and lighting could do inside a room, and Cigare Armchair carries that same conviction. As an ensemblier rather than a mere decorator, he never designed objects in isolation, but as instruments meant to shape atmosphere, direct light and choreograph the way a space is actually lived in.
Its cylindrical, reclining silhouette earned the Cigare armchair its name, the satin-varnished walnut frame resting on ball-shaped legs in chrome-plated brass, or polished brass on request, and upholstered here in coconut-toned Blazer fabric from Dedar. The rounded, enveloping shape shows Chareau experimenting with comfort as much as geometry, decades before reclining lounge chairs became a design category of their own.
MCDE Gallery is the reference for reissues of Pierre Chareau’s most iconic designs. Over the past forty years, the gallery founded by French art collector Maxime Defert has done an outstanding work by perpetuating the legacy of the great architect and designer. Defert, a great admirer of Chareau, thought it was his duty to reissue his work and bring to people’s homes the designs of “one of the most modern creators of the first half of the 20th century”. Now, Pierre-Emmanuel Risch and his wife Carole, continue to promote Pierre Chareau’s unique works – lighting fixtures and furnishings – by producing exquisite reissues in their workshops in France.
