In 1965, Claude Lalanne designed her “Grains de Café” side chairs for the office of Olivier de la Baume, Director of Maison du Café, a French coffee company. The chairs accompanied a writing desk and an articulated conference table designed for the same commission by husband François-Xavier Lalanne.
These chairs were produced in 1984 for another commission and were originally part of a set of 12.
