Important Suite Of 10 Chaises Chair One Magis, Konstantin Grcic, Provenance Terrasses Louvre

■ PRESENTATION AND EXCEPTIONAL PROVENANCEGalerie Les Merciers is offering for purchase a homogeneous and rare set of ten chairs from the "Chair One" model. In addition to the strength of its design, this suite is sublimated by a first-rate museum provenance: it comes directly from the outdoor fittings of the Musée du Louvre in Paris. Having welcomed the international public on the terraces of France's most famous cultural institution lends this lot an undeniable historical dimension. The original signatures ("CHAIR_ONE Konstantin Grcic" and "MAGIS MADE IN ITALY") are formally molded into the structure of each seat.

■ HISTORICAL ANALYSISCreated in the early 2000s (2003-2004), the Chair One marks an architectural breakthrough in furniture design. In it, Konstantin Grcic deconstructs traditional volumes to propose a reticular structure inspired by geodesic domes. The seat, forming a three-dimensional skeleton in cast aluminum, offers total visual transparency. This technical feat means that a set of ten chairs never visually obstructs the space, while guaranteeing rigorous ergonomics.
