About the Item

Genevieve Dangles was the Granddaughter of a woodworker, Galette Motte attended a decorative arts school in 1946. She worked with sculptor Robert Couturier and was discovered by René Gabriel. She completed an internship with André Arbus until 1953 and was friends with notable designers like Guariche and Motte. These three unique stools, crafted from oak in the 1950s, are exceptional pieces designed by the talented Group 4. Despite their innovative design and craftsmanship, these stools never went into production, making them rare and highly sought-after collectibles. This is the only known Set and there is a big chance that the stools are the ones from the book. Designer: Joseph André Motte (1925-2013), French interior designer trained by René Gabriel and Louis Sognot at the School of Applied Arts to Industry. Together with Pierre Guariche and Michel Mortier, he founded the Plastic Research Workshop (ARP), and collaborated with the 4-Charron Group, which in 1954 published its ash and mahogany bedroom furniture, which was presented at the Brussels World’s Fair in 1958. Documentation in "Chambres d'enfants et de jeunes" ed. Ch. Massin Page 74. The 4-Charron Group was founded in 1952 by Georges Charron with René Jean Caillette, Joseph André Motte, Geneviève Dangles and Alain Richard. The group is established in France by offering wooden furniture with multiple essences, formica and with curved wood or metal footings. The stools were created under the guidance of Charron, known for pushing the boundaries of furniture design during that era. Each stool embodies the distinctive aesthetic and functional qualities that Group 4 was renowned for. The use of oak not only ensures durability but also gives the stools a timeless, rustic charm that reflects the mid-century modern style. These stools stand as a testament to the creativity and vision of their designers, representing a fascinating chapter in the history of mid-20th-century furniture design.
