The Louise Club Chair was designed by Paul Mathieu as the seating form of the Louise series: the Louis XV chair vocabulary — curved back, enveloping arms, cabriole legs — rendered entirely in Medium Hammered Copper metal. Back panel, seat, arm rests, apron, and four cabriole legs are all covered in Medium Hammered Copper, fitted by hand and secured with flush-set nails along every seam. The nail-head lines form a consistent pattern across the full exterior of the chair.The teak frame is built and carved before Medium Hammered Copper metal is pattern-cut and fitted to each surface individually. Every section requires compound-curve fitting; each is secured with flush-set nails. All surfaces are worked to their final Medium Hammered Copper character by hand.Measures 26 by 27 by 33 inches. Works as a club chair, armchair, accent chair, or lounge chair. Seat cushion available. Available in all twelve standard finishes. Custom sizing available. Made entirely to order.Designed by Paul Mathieu for Stephanie Odegard Collection. The Louise Club Chair carries the Louis XV formal vocabulary of the Louise series into a seating form, covering every exterior surface including arms and back in hand-applied {F} metal. The same eighteenth-century tradition produced Queen Anne and Chippendale furniture in England. Produced in Udaipur.Made to order, each piece may show slight variations that are a natural result of handmade metal-clad production. The Medium Hammered Copper surface will gradually mellow in tone over time, which is part of the material's natural character.The images shown in this listing may be photographed in different lighting conditions or may include 3D illustrations created to represent the available finishes. We warmly encourage customers to request an individual sample or a complete sample set of all twelve finishes to experience the surface, tone, and character firsthand.Please note that moisture in the air, seasonal climate shifts, and the natural movement of wood over time may cause the metal surface to develop slight wrinkles or occasional bubbling. We use well-seasoned reclaimed teak and high-quality marine-grade MDF wherever technically possible to minimise these natural effects, but complete stability of metal cannot be guaranteed.All smooth finishes will show subtle tool marks. These are not defects but a natural and unavoidable result of hand-working and hand-polishing metal sheets. Our hammered finishes are recommended where a more textured, forgiving surface is preferred.None of our metal-clad pieces are sealed with a permanent protective coating. This allows the metal to age naturally and beautifully over time. We polish every piece carefully before packing. A clear PU coat can be applied on request.The antiqued white bronze finish will react with natural elements the fastest in the beginning, but it too will stop reacting and settle into a stable state like copper after 6-12 months. Since it is already antiqued and looks intentionally tarnished, this early reaction does not change the overall appearance. In that way, this surface is the most forgiving.The antiqued white bronze finish is done by applying an acidic chemical over the white bronze to recreate a natural patination. Like the aging of silver, copper, or brass, the final result and colour uniformity cannot be guaranteed. The goal of this finish is to achieve rainbow-like tones with dull, shiny, cloudy, and lightly streaked patches to give an illusion of antiquing.As a default practice, we offer a protective wipe-on PU coat only on this finish. If a designer prefers the natural, uncoated aging, we can leave it untreated just like the other finishes. A PU coat helps keep the surface looking the same as when shipped, but it does not create a fully uniform patina; natural variation will always remain part of this finish.
