Description
This rare model Guillereme et Chambron „Grand Repos” Chaise Lounge was manufactured in France in the 1950s.
The exceptional refinement of the design is ensured by a sculptural frame with an oblique and streamlined line at the same time.
The backrest of the frame is cleverly made of six vertically areanged, wooden spindles. This form allows the pillow to be placed in a comfortable, slightly tilted position, and at the same time exhibits a surprising complexity with profiled armrests with semicircular carvings and oblique, truncated legs. “Grand Repos” stands for “great rest” in French and it is the largest model, 101 cm high, providing exceptional comfort.
The armchair is upholstered with the highest quality wool frabic from Pierre Frey with a light elegant character.The frame made of solid oak wood creates an original combination. This is a masterful example of contrast expressed not only by colour but also by texture. The composition is complemented by quilting on the backrest arranged in a symmetrical pattern.
Thanks to bright shade and made with the utmost care oak details, "Grand Repos" Lounge Chair permeates the space, providing unique structure and forging a strong relationship with the home.
About the Designer:
Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron, a French creative duo who met and developed a deep friendship under unusual circumstances. During the Second World War, the two met in a stalag, a Prussian prisoner camp, while being imprisoned by the Germans in East Prussia.
Guillerme had graduated from the École Boulle in 1934 with a degree in design and architecture, and Chambron had studied at the School of Applied Arts in Reims.
After the war ended, Guillerme moved to Lille in northern France; Chambron left his job as a painter and decorator in Paris and joined him in 1948.
In 1949, the pair met Émile Dariosecq, a skilled cabinetmaker who enthusiastically agreed to manufacture the duo’s designs, leading to the create their company. They called it “Votre Maison” which means “Your Home”. They built a worldwide reputation by creating products that focused on functionality combined with beautiful design useful in everyday life. Their furniture, mostly made of various shades of waxed oak, followed the design trends that emerged after the war: mid-century modernism. The furniture designed by this duo has a strong character and perfectly expressive woodwork. All three shared their work equally. Overall, Guillerme worked as a designer, Chambron as an advertisement, and Dariosecq’s workshop manufactured the pieces. In its career, “Votre Maison” has produced over two thousand models, leaving a permanent mark in the world of design.
One of Votre Maison’s most famous and popular pieces was the Grand Repos armchair, a stately, high-backed wide piece with a skeletal oak frame, six spindles and plush cushions.

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.

What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.

To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
