Description
Incorporating elements of regal French history and twentieth century modernist minimalism, the Alicante chair, with its solid oak body, earthen hued fabric and brushed brass, would not be out of place in a modern interpretation of the Palace of Versailles. There, it would amaze with its elegant blend of eras and its clear understanding of comfort, style, past and present. Flaunting its anachronisms proudly, the curves of the seat speak to the history lovers, and the subtlety of the legs speaks to the minimalists. A perfect crossover. Subtle and bold, bold and subtle.
The Alicante chair is a shining example of bringing the past into the future via the merging of ideas, values, and stylistic decisions. The subtlety of the fabric is the true stroke of genius here. Whereas if it were to utilise the stylistic fabric decisions of say, Louis XV’s court, it would be gaudy, too golden to suit any room but a room designed to be filled with more gold. But this is where the Alicante exudes its versatility, as the hue of the fabric suits the modern home without needing to coat itself in gold and Rococo illustrations. Bring the past into the future with this chair.
