Guy Bucchi designs and handcrafts designer chairs where functionality meets art and sculpture. Each creation has its own identity, with lines ranging from minimalist and geometric to more expressive forms.

Handcrafted in his workshop in Entraigues-sur-la-Sorgue, in the Vaucluse region of Provence, his chairs are born from a personal exploration of shapes, craftsmanship and balance. Iron plays a central role in his creations and is sometimes combined with different types of wood, depending on the piece.

Designer Chairs That Tell a Story

For Guy Bucchi, a chair is more than just a functional object. It begins with an idea, a thought or a form that he seeks to bring to life through material. Some creations develop over several months, sometimes even several years, before taking their final shape.

The names given to the chairs are an integral part of this creative process. Champagne, Pablo, Gorilla, Wings... They evoke what each creation represents: a silhouette, a character or the idea that inspired it. Once a chair is completed, its name often becomes obvious when looking at it.

From Sketch to Handcrafted Creation

Every chair begins with an exploration on paper. Guy Bucchi sketches his ideas freehand before gradually bringing them to life through materials in his workshop.

Iron allows him to extend the lines of his drawings and give physical form to the shapes he imagines. Curves, repetitions, minimalist structures and more expressive designs become the defining features of each creation.

In some pieces, metal meets wood. Swamp Kauri, an ancient wood from New Zealand preserved for thousands of years, holds a special place in his work. Depending on the creation, Guy Bucchi also uses other New Zealand woods, such as pine and Macrocarpa.

Between Designer Furniture and Sculpture

Guy Bucchi's chairs are designed to be used, but their design goes beyond mere functionality. The backrest, seat, legs and even the negative spaces all contribute to the overall composition of each piece.

Some creations feature minimalist lines and a strong sense of visual lightness. Others explore graphic backrests, expressive curves or almost sculptural silhouettes. Each designer chair has its own distinctive artistic language and character.

This fusion of furniture, design and sculpture gives rise to unique pieces, instantly recognizable by their distinctive forms.

Handcrafted Creations from Provence, France

Most of Guy Bucchi's creations are one-of-a-kind pieces, giving each chair a distinctive character. Handcraftsmanship plays an essential role throughout the production process, from shaping the individual elements to assembly and finishing.

Some of the chairs featured on this page have already been sold, while others are still available. Sold pieces remain on display to showcase the diversity of Guy Bucchi's work and the evolution of his artistic exploration of chair design.

Each chair is hand-stamped by Guy Bucchi with his initials, the date of creation, its serial number and the place where it was made.
