This delicate garden set, attributed to designer Raoul Guys, is an outstanding example of the light and optimistic design of the 1950s. The set captivates with its sculptural lines and the timeless contrast between the white, coated metal frame and the bright red upholstery (though the fabric is slightly darker than shown in the photos).
Delicate Metal Design & Timeless Aesthetics
Typical of designs from this era is the use of thin, sturdy round steel. The chairs are distinguished by their dynamically crossed leg construction and elegantly integrated armrests. Since this set retains a very airy appearance, it never looks bulky on the patio or in the garden, but rather like a delicate sketch in the space.
Condition & Restoration
This set combines authentic vintage character with practical restoration for immediate use:
Table: The frame and tabletop have already been refinished, giving it a fresh and well-maintained appearance. However, age-related indentations are still present.
Chairs: The metal frames of the chairs are in their original condition. The existing patina underscores their character as genuine 1950s originals.
Upholstery: The red fabric on the seats has already been replaced once. It is rich in color, durable, and provides excellent seating comfort as well as a modern touch.
