The Doux Chair. 

The Doux , an Impressionist in Steel and Stone

In the heart of late 19th-century Paris, Charles Alexandre Picart Le Doux looked at the world differently. As the "last true impressionist," his work moved between the raw power of a landscape and the gentle, sensual curve of a portrait. He sought a specific kind of perfection, a balance between the bold and the soft.

Named in honor of Le Doux’s legacy, this piece is a study in contrasts. It begins with a rigid, "box" frame in a square silhouette in hammered dark bronze, finished in what I call "rough-smooth".
