With the Metal Bookshelf, Pierre Chareau signs far more than a piece of furniture: it is a fragment of the singular vision of a designer who believed every object should extend the space it inhabits. Trained first as an engineer, Chareau approached furniture the way he approached his buildings, as a question of light, structure and proportion, refusing the ornamental clutter of his era in favour of forms that feel inevitable rather than decorative.
Mounted directly to the wall in black painted metal, the Metal Bookshelf strips a traditional bookcase down to its structural skeleton, the shelves seeming to float rather than rest on legs or a plinth. Made to bespoke dimensions, it is one of the clearest expressions of Chareau’s industrial vocabulary applied to everyday storage.
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.
