Set Of 4 Cantilever Dining Chairs In The Sphinx Style, Signed Boris Tabacoff, Ann.

Rare set of 4 Boris Tabacoff-style "Sphinx" cantilever armchairs (circa 1970) for Mobilier Modulaire Moderne (MMM) or Mobilier de Paris

Sublimate your interior with this exceptional set of four space-inspired cantilever armchairs, designed in Boris Tabacoff's inimitable style for Mobilier de Paris. These armchairs are emblematic examples of French avant-garde design from the 1970s, combining sculptural chrome bases with organic, fluid seating.

Iconic silhouette: The chrome "C" base, with its dramatic curved lines, creates a striking cantilever effect, giving the impression that the seat is floating in space.

Spacey aesthetics: bucket seats feature Tabacoff's signature openwork backrest, offering a light, airy silhouette from every angle.

Luxurious textures: upholstered in sumptuous, shimmering taupe velvet, these armchairs harmonize perfectly with mirror-polished chrome.
