A stunning set of three Aluminum Tonneau Chairs designed by Pierre Guariche for Steiner in the 1950s. These chairs are exceptionally rare—true collector’s pieces that embody the elegance and innovation of mid‑century French design. Crafted with slender aluminum frames and gently curved “tonneau” (barrel‑shaped) backs and seats, they reflect Guariche’s signature blend of industrial refinement and graceful lines.
Each of the three chairs displays a beautiful, age‑worn patina in the aluminum—marks, minor discolorations, and subtle surface variances that are visible in the pictures. Far from detracting, this natural patina adds character, authenticity, and evidence of their history and use over decades. It enhances their aesthetic appeal, giving each chair its own individual personality.
These chairs are well suited for vintage enthusiasts, interior settings that appreciate design history, or anyone looking to make a statement with unique furniture that is both functional and artful. They would be a magnificent addition to a living room, dining area, or any space that values rare mid‑century craftsmanship.
