Villa Arpel's Chair

La semaine dernière j'ai trouvé cette chaise au milieu d'un tas de gravas dans une benne à ordures…

Elle m'a plu dès que je l'ai aperçue, je l'ai aussitôt mise dans ma voiture, en arrivant chez moi j'ai tout de suite envoyé une photo à mon ami Cami qui m'a dit qu'elle était (mais sans les accoudoirs) dans la villa Arpel du film "Mon Oncle" de Jacques Tati.

Même si Cami s'y connaît beaucoup en design, je ne le croyais pas trop, car c'était trop beau pour être vrai…

Mais après quelques recherches je me suis rendu compte qu'il avait raison et que j'avais eu beaucoup de chance de passer dans cette rue ce jour là.

Last week I found this chair in a heap of engraved in a garbage dumpster… She reminds me a chair of the villa Arpel in the Jacques Tati movie "Mon Oncle".

I'm very lucky!

Thank You Michael…
