The Sylvie Chair by R & Y Augousti is an unmistakable silhouette — sculptural, elongated, and quietly commanding. One of the brand’s earliest and most iconic designs, its ethereal lines rise with a sense of tension and grace, while the softly contoured seat anchors the composition with fluid strength. The dramatically extended back legs create a striking vertical gesture, transforming the chair into a functional sculpture that elevates any interior it inhabits.

Shown here in black pen shell, the surface reveals a deep, organic luster that shifts subtly with the light. Each shell fragment is individually hand-selected and meticulously inlaid by master artisans, resulting in a richly layered texture and natural variation that ensures no two pieces are ever identical. The high-gloss finish enhances the material’s depth, giving the chair a moody, almost liquid quality that feels both modern and timeless.

In addition to pen shell, the Sylvie Chair can also be produced in a range of refined shagreen finishes, offered in an array of sophisticated colorways to suit bespoke interiors. Custom sizing and material combinations are available upon request, allowing this iconic design to be tailored to specific projects while preserving its distinctive, collectible form.
