Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Beneath its pure curves are hidden technical detailings that allows the piece to be silently noticeable.
Apelle is designed with a beautiful and clear design language and format comprised of truly astonishing craftsmanship.
Made from all-natural materials like full grain leather and solid, FSC-certified oak or ash, and with clear references to the Scandinavian design tradition harmoniously matched with new ideas, the dining chair becomes an iconic piece and an instant classic.
In its formal and structural simplicity are hidden technical and crafted details that allow it to maintain a silent elegance.

A long time ago that I featured a chair by Claudie. Here is another one. It seems that nowadays she is more into painting.
” The chairs ! but why the chairs?
When we can, with three strokes of a pencil, two or three colors, enchant the eye, draw us into dreams, and panic entire souls? Fire ! thus ended the first, her feet burned before my eyes, her feet, what am I saying? his hands, his head, his entire body, ignoble sacrifice of my ideas, pyre witness to the surrounding intolerance! I knew at that moment that I would make it personal. What’s the point of fighting against an inclination, against a foundation…? SITTING…that’s a word that speaks to me! Don’t we sit down to rest, to think, to write…? – OH YES !
“SIT” the schoolmaster tells us…
AH! IF you knew everything that goes through my head!!!
I see it far from any contingency:
Feminine or masculine or sometimes both, hilarious or sad, crazy or realistic,
raw or sophisticated, always full of meaning, never trivial.
Whether or not you can put your bottom on it is the least of my worries..
She frees herself from the chair
because she has so much to tell you. »
Claudie Bastide
