About the item
Maison Regain was a manufacturer of furniture in France during the 60s, 70s and 80s, mostly involved in the production of elm furniture. Maison Regain originated in the Haute-Alpes region in France, a region with a surplus of elm trees. Maison Regain (whereby Regain stands for the word “elm” in French) designed brutalistic looking furniture produced in solid elm wood with a sturdy finish. They produced furniture in all shapes and sizes, such as sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, dining and coffee tables, wall systems and credenzas. The quality of their furniture is impeccable and the Maison Regain pieces are often seen in the same light as Pierre Chapo. Nowadays, their pieces are much sought after due to their quality and their brutalist look, in particular the Roland Haeusler designed pieces.
