A 'spine' chair

This example of the 'Spine' chair dates from the first limited edition of 50 examples hand-forged by a blacksmith in the Dordogne region of France in 1988-89. The popular success of the design led Dubreuil to modify the chair to a version of less fine construction than the present early example, better suited to unlimited production.

The chair was a gift to the present owner in the first year of its production.
