1834

The 1834 Collection traces its origins to an original antique chair and an accompanying catalogue from the 1834 Exhibition of Products of French Industry in Paris, both preserved in our archive. At that exhibition, a Parisian maker received a medal for introducing garden furniture in fer creux laminé—laminated hollow iron—an innovation that made pieces lighter, more resilient, and aligned with the emerging industrial aesthetic. Working directly from these historic forms, we have reinterpreted the award-winning designs into a cohesive family of chairs, benches, sofas, and tables that honor the earliest expressions of functional metalwork.
