Pierre Yovanovitch has collaborated with Christian Louboutin to create a series of open edition chairs inspired by historical muses, mythology, and film. The collection incorporates the work of a selection of best-in-class, historic French artisans to meticulously craft each piece.

There are nine limited edition works which are inspired by characters ranging from Queen Nefertari to Dita von Teese. As a nod to Christian Louboutin’s renowned Nudes shoe collection, the collaboration also features an open edition “Simply Nude” series of five female-inspired silhouettes offered in a variety of wood colors meant to reflect feminine strength and unique beauty.

“It was Pierre who came up with the idea for this collaboration. We had already worked together on some of my interior design projects,” states Christian Louboutin. “To celebrate his iconic Clam chair, I summoned pharaonic goddesses, queens of the stage or queens of the night, chimeras, and heroines of cinema.”

In addition to these limited-edition pieces, there will also be an open edition “Simply Nude” series which references Christian Louboutin’s Nudes collection. The chairs are offered in a variety of frame options from bleached oak, natural oak, patinated oak to light and dark-stained mahogany oak, reflecting feminine strength and unique beauty. The “Simply Nudes” will also be available in an array of upholstery colors and, as a nod to Louboutin’s iconic shoe design, the base of the chairs features the brand’s iconic red-soled heel.

The new collection will is on view to the public at Pierre Yovanovitch Mobilier New York from now until May 24th and will also be available for purchase globally via PierreYovanovitch.com.
