French fashion house Marine Serre has made its first foray into furniture with a limited-edition folding chair created with French manufacturer Chaisor, covered in its signature crescent-moon print.
The collaboration applies Marine Serre’s All-Over Moon pattern to one of Chaisor’s classic folding chairs, while keeping the recognisable folding structure that the manufacturer is known for.
A French folding chair
Founded in 1962, Chaisor specialises in folding chairs with a distinctly ceremonial character. The chair at the centre of the collaboration was designed by Leo Jouk.
Its curved backrest draws on furniture from the Napoleon III period, while Chaisor’s signature Saint Andrew’s cross legs improve stability and durability. A steel frame with a gold epoxy coating supports a padded seat and a 35-millimetre high-resilience foam backrest, both upholstered in Moon-patterned fabric.
Each chair is handmade in France and retains its folding function.
Three numbered editions
The chair comes in three serial-numbered editions. Tan features the Moon print in black on tan, Inverse Tan reverses the scheme with tan on black, and Denim uses a laser-treated, washed blue version of the pattern.
The Denim edition is upholstered in cotton, while the two Tan versions use a technical fabric printed with the Moon motif. The shift between warm neutral contrasts and a washed blue finish turns a utilitarian piece of folding furniture into a more graphic, collectible object.
The overlapping crescent moons remain the focus, now applied to a piece rooted in French furniture tradition, underlining the emphasis both brands place on craft, durability and heritage.
The Marine Serre x Chaisor folding chair is available from Marine Serre’s online store, priced from US$660.
