Charming Mid-20th Century Louis Sognot Style Bamboo & Rattan Desk & Chair Set

This delightful bamboo desk and chair set is a tribute to the elegant and inventive style of renowned French designer and architect Louis Sognot, whose work bridged the Art Deco era and the modernist movement. Crafted in the mid-20th century, the set features a finely woven rattan lattice design that brings lightness and visual rhythm to the desk’s sides, paired with a warm bamboo frame. A chair echoes the same graceful lines. The desk offers both beauty and practicality, with three wooden drawers with simple bamboo pulls providing ample storage for writing instruments, notebooks, or office essentials.

The matching chair, constructed in bamboo with rattan-wrapped joints and a high, slatted back, complements the desk perfectly, both visually and functionally. It maintains the set’s organic warmth and is ideal for use in a home office, writing corner, or reading nook.

Louis Sognot (1892-1970) was celebrated for his innovative use of natural materials, particularly rattan, which he favored for its strength, flexibility, and organic appeal. His designs consistently embodied a balance between functionality and poetic form, qualities that resonate in this charming ensemble.

Whether placed in a contemporary interior for a touch of vintage charm or integrated into a nature-inspired setting, this desk and chair set brings both timeless character and everyday practicality.
