French Mid-Century Dining Chairs by Pirela Atelier, 1960s

French Mid-Century Rope and Metal Chairs

This set of ten dining chairs by Pirela Atelier embodies the essence of French mid-century design. Produced in the 1960s, they feature red enameled metal frames paired with woven hemp rope seats and backs, achieving a striking balance of modernist geometry and natural texture. Their lightweight structure and bold color make them versatile additions to both contemporary and classic interiors.

Modernist French Style and Application

With their sculptural red frames and organic rope weaving, these chairs reflect the modernist French approach of uniting industrial materials with artisanal craft. They bring warmth and character to dining rooms, creative studios, or open-plan living spaces, while maintaining a timelessly simple silhouette.

1960s Design and Materiality

Crafted in France during the 1960s, these chairs highlight a period when designers explored the interplay of steel, enamel, and natural fibers. The woven hemp rope remains in original condition, displaying a natural patina that enhances authenticity. Their clean lines and vivid color align with the experimental yet refined spirit of Pirela Atelier’s work.
