The Louise Club Chair in Medium Hammered Copper takes the Louis XV chair form — curved back, enveloping arms, cabriole legs — and covers every surface in Medium Hammered Copper metal. Back panel, seat, arm rests, apron, and four cabriole legs are all clad in Medium Hammered Copper, fitted by hand to each curved and flat surface in sequence. The flush-set nail lines at every seam mark the surface with a regular geometric pattern across the full exterior of the chair.The teak frame is built and carved before Medium Hammered Copper metal sheets are pattern-cut and fitted by hand to each surface. The back panel, seat edges, arm rests, and cabriole legs each present compound curves; each surface is fitted individually and secured with flush-set nails. The Medium Hammered Copper surface is worked to its final character throughout.Measures 26 by 27 by 33 inches. Functions as a club chair, armchair, lounge chair, or accent chair. A seat cushion can be added. Available in all twelve standard finishes. Custom sizing available. Made entirely to order.Designed by Paul Mathieu for Stephanie Odegard Collection. The Louise series is Paul Mathieu's interpretation of Louis XV furniture in hand-worked metal. The Club Chair extends that interpretation to a seating form, covering every exterior surface including the arms in the same {F} metal as the rest of the collection. 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.
