Guillerme et Chambron

Furniture designers, éditions Votre Maison (founded in 1949)

Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron met during the Second World War. In 1949, they co-founded the company Votre Maison. Guillerme, trained at the École Boulle, dedicated himself to furniture design, while Chambron oversaw client relations and distribution. Crafted in the Vaucouleurs workshops, their furniture is distinguished by the use of waxed solid oak, fashioned into generous, sculpted forms with lines that are both rustic and modern. Many pieces are embellished with ceramic tiles, notably by the ceramic artist Boleslaw Danikowski, or vibrant textiles. Over the course of some thirty years, the firm created more than two thousand models—seating, tables, sideboards, and bookcases—which are today highly sought after by connoisseurs of French post-war design.
