Behind the design of our rattan chair is the designer Guillaume Delvigne. Based in Paris, he has carried out numerous projects for major French fashion houses such as Givenchy, Hermès... His creations are regularly presented at exhibitions in France and abroad and have been awarded prizes or are part of permanent collections.
We are proud that Guillaume has designed the first chair of the ORCHID EDITION collection.
The SILLON chair offers a real game of flexibility thanks to the manoeuvrability of rattan. This flexibility allows the designer to create a pattern of repetitive lines on the seat and backrest, inspired by Japanese sandy gardens with hypnotic designs. With a thin cane cover combined with a thicker outer contour, Guillaume Delvigne emphasises a light chair with a refined style.
In a nod to a classic rattan technique, usually used to hide junctions, the lateral ligatures are located where you want to catch the chair. This sensory and visual detail, found on the armrests of the HUBLOT chair, is a good example of Guillaume Delvigne's work, which we liked so much.
" I wanted to play with the suppleness of the rattan by emphasising the fine cane covering which echoes the outer contour and becomes a real motif. " _Guillaume Delvigne

Notre travail d’éditeur a surtout été d’adapter le dessin pour trouver le bon compromis entre le souhait minimaliste et une matière comme le rotin qui exige souvent de nombreux renforts.
The quest for excellence
" Guillaume Delvigne's work immediately appealed to us because we felt a desire to build furniture out of rattan and nothing but rattan. Guillaume used all the by-products made from rattan cane: braided pith like the baskets, marquetry for flat surfaces reminiscent of floor mats, etc. The in-depth study of traditional models allowed us to create solid structures with innovative forms.
I immediately loved the SILLON chair because it was unlike any other. It is compact, light, stackable and very strong. To me, it has it all. " " _Tina Ledi
The SILLON chair combines the suppleness of rattan with its robustness, creating an elegant chair with airy, harmonious, balanced curves. Lightweight at just 3kg, it's easy to move around as you please.
Sturdy and stackable, it can be handled on a regular basis, appealing to both professional and private customers. Whether in a hotel, a restaurant or at home, it's up to you to make room for it!
The SILLON chair can be easily mixed around a table with mismatched chairs or with our CONTOUR armchair. Its clean lines mean that you can play with the accumulation of chairs, in a restaurant for example, by opting for cushions in coloured fabrics.
A new version of the SILLON rattan chair appeared in 2024, with more rattan strips in the seat and backrest: we wanted a real option without cushions, to preserve the original material and design. Although the addition of a seat cushion adds a touch of originality, it's now up to you to choose this option!
