Corvo Dining Chair

corvo dining chair
Design Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance, 2010
American walnut, maple, upholstery
Made in USA by Bernhardt Design
Corvo reveals its story by discovering each angle, facet, and curve, illuminating the idea that craft and the human hand are the hallmarks of modernity in the twenty-first century. The contours of the inner arms and back are juxtaposed with the straight edges of the external structure, creating visual interest and stability.
A multidisciplinary French designer, Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance is known internationally for his sensitive attention to materials and details, as well as for the refinement of his organic forms. From his initial training as a sculptor, he has kept this innate aptitude for dialogue between space and object. The duality between artistic vision and meticulous rigour, nature and the city, functionality and emotion flows seamlessly through his projects, whether in interior architecture (the Sketch in London, the Air France lounges, the chalet at La Transhumance) or in the design of furniture or objects (published by Ceccotti, Bernhardt Design, Ligne Roset, La Chance, Hermès, Saint Louis, Revol), but also tailor-made for private clients or cultural institutions such as the Villa Medici.
His work has always flourished in collaboration and dialogue with craftsmen and craftswomen, and this approach takes on even more cultural and emotional depth today. In order to reconnect with nature and weave a sensitive link between man and his environment, he chose to move to Lisbon in 2017. From this immersion was born the Made In Situ project. Through its various chapters and encounters to date the black ceramics of Tondela Barro Negro, the cork from the Algarve Burnt Cork, the Azulejos of Viuva Lamego, the bronze of Peniche and the beeswax candles of Fatima, Bronze & Beeswax - Made In Situ explores, through the prism of the designer's eyes, a variety of territories, geological, artisanal, economic and cultural. A travel diary that can only be extended, in France or elsewhere.
Corvo is hand shaped and sanded from solid American walnut or maple and sealed with a natural oil finish. The upholstered seat cushion adds a soft, final touch to the wooden piece.
