Virginie Lobrot is a French interior decorator and upholsterer,
originally from Paris and established in Toulouse since 2001.
After a first work experience of five years in a leading Parisian
advertising agency, she started learning upholstery in 1996
and then began a new job creating her own company.
She enjoys restoring old armchairs from Louis XV, Louis XVI or
from the fifties eras. But she misses pure creation.
In 2012, she presented at the Maison & Objet show in Paris,
her new concept of indoor-outdoor armchair made of wood,
fabric and leather. It is called “Temps Libre“ (free time would be
an attempt of translation) and is inspired from the Indian Chair,
a piece of furniture used by the British Army during its campaigns …
as well as by Napoleon. This armchair is particular in that it can be
fully disassembled and reassembled in a mere 3 minutes and
therefore is quite easily transported and stored.
The “Temps Libre” armchair is fully made in France,
around Toulouse, in different versions of which two are specifically
designed for an outdoor use: Ile de Ré made with an outdoor fabric.
As suggested in the names and styles of the carefully selected
fabrics choosen from the best fabric designing companies,
each armchair recalls memories of holidays or places we’d dream
to visit : Temps Libre in Etretat (the best seller),
Temps Libre in Toulouse (leather), Temps Libre in Deauville (hemp),
Temps Libre in Isle sur la Sorgue (old linen ).
This line of nomad armchair also exists as dining chair, footrest,
coffee table, bar stool, ladder and shelves.
Virginie also started to create her own fabrics; she enjoys choosing
the color and designing a natural fabric with linen, hemp or bamboo
and choosing its particular touch.
She is always searching for new ideas to always perfect her chairs
and draw new design chairs, always nomad style,
easy to live and still comfortable.
When she presents her chair she’ll just invite you to try it.
Free time for leisure… Temps Libre.
