Like the armchair, the Martel Chair

finds its origin in the memory

of a disjointed chair,

glimpsed one morning

in the city of Lyon.

A shard of wood piercing

its caned back -

a raw, fragile fragment,

the starting point

of a protective design.

 

Its oak armrests,

carved with the gouge,

cross the back

like two arms suspended.

A decisive gesture,

a dense material,

and the fabric, soft,

that cradles the body

like a quiet nest.

 

Balanced, enveloping,

the Martel Chair watches and reassures

like the warm scent of old wax.

Conceived for a clear gaze,

and attentive listening,

it accompanies meals

and decisions.
