About the Item

Pair of oak wood veneer and deerskin 'Elephant' chairs designed by Jean-Michel Frank and produced by the company Comte, Argentina By: Jean-Michel Frank, Comte S.A. Material: wood, oak, leather Technique: carved, veneer, hand-crafted Dimensions: 42.5 in x 35 in x 30.5 in x 10 in Date: mid-20th century, circa 1940 Style: Mid-Century Modern, Art Déco Place of origin: Argentina A pair of the Iconic 'Elephant' lounge chairs by Jean-Michel Frank that embodies the timeless sophistication of the mid-20th century. Crafted in Argentina by the Comte firm, the chairs bear the unmistakable hallmarks of the visionary French designer. Meticulously constructed with a framework of richly grained oak veneer, the chairs' clean, angular lines and robust silhouettes exude a sense of quiet confidence. Adorning the seats is a luxurious covering of supple deerskin, lending a tactile allure to the overall aesthetic. Frank's celebrated partnership with Comte, the esteemed Buenos Aires-based furniture maker, resulted in the production of these exquisite pieces. Founded by the aesthete Ignacio Pirovano, Comte became the exclusive licensee of Frank's designs in Argentina, continuing to manufacture them even after the designer's passing in 1941. During his brief but impactful stay in the country in 1940, Frank left an indelible mark on the local design landscape, his refined, minimalist approach resonating with a discerning clientele. As timeless pieces that seamlessly bridge the past and present, these chairs stand as a testament to the enduring impact of this visionary author and the Argentine firm that so faithfully brought his creations to life.
