Set of 6 Mid 20th century French Stacking School Chairs in Sage-Green Paint

This set of six French stacking chairs, dating from the 1950s to 1960s, combines lightness and strength in a clean mid-century profile. Each features a pale sage-green enameled tubular steel frame and molded beech plywood seat and backrest, the wood showing a warm honey tone with a soft satin sheen. Originally designed for schools and canteens, the chairs embody postwar modernist ideals of durability, practicality, and simplicity. They remain sturdy and comfortable, with scattered paint losses, small nicks, and surface scuffs consistent with use, overall presenting in good, timeworn condition.

Light and practical, these mid-century French chairs bring a gentle touch of color and authentic industrial charm to kitchens, dining rooms, and family areas. Their simple, sturdy design complements both contemporary and rustic interiors, adding relaxed character without overwhelming the room. Perfect around a wooden dining table, they lend casual warmth to a breakfast nook, while their stackable format makes them equally useful in a studio, home office, or children’s playroom. Their clean lines and time-softened patina pair beautifully with raw wood, linen, and glazed ceramics, highlighting their honest materials and enduring functionality.
