Set of 4 Boris Tabacoff Sphinx Style Cantilever Dining Lounge Chairs 1970
Rare Set of 4 Boris Tabacoff Style "Sphinx" Cantilever Chairs (c. 1970) for Mobilier Modulaire Moderne (MMM) or Mobilier de Paris
Elevate your interior with this exceptional set of four Space Age cantilever chairs, designed in the unmistakable style of Boris Tabacoff for Mobilier de Paris. These are quintessential examples of 1970s French avant-garde design, combining sculptural chrome bases with organic, fluid seating.
Iconic Silhouette: The dramatic, sweeping chrome "C" base creates a stunning cantilever effect that makes the seat appear to float in space.
Space Age Aesthetic: The bucket-style seats feature Tabacoff’s signature "cut-out" backrest, offering a light, airy profile from every angle.
Luxurious Texture: Upholstered in a plush, shimmering taupe velvet that perfectly complements the mirror-polished chrome.
Designer/Style: Boris Tabacoff / Mobilier de Paris (Attributed)
Era: 1970s
Materials: Polished Steel/Chrome & Velvet Upholstery
Condition: Beautiful Vintage Condition. The chrome remains bright and reflective with only light age-appropriate patina. The velvet upholstery is well-preserved with no significant wear, tears, or staining. Structurally sound and incredibly comfortable.
Collector's Note
Sets of four in this condition are increasingly difficult to find. This particular "Z" or "C" frame cantilever design is a staple for collectors of Pierre Cardin, Maria Pergay, and mid-century French modernism. They serve perfectly as statement dining chairs or as high-end accent seating in a curated lounge.
