What is the history of Jindřich Halabala chairs?
1 Answer
The history of Jindřich Halabala chairs is that they were designed by a celebrated Czech furniture designer. Halabala was a cabinetmaker's son whose training was almost wholly focused on woodwork, first at a state-run vocational school for woodworking in Valašské Meziříčí and later at UP Závody in Brno, where he ultimately became chief designer. His curvaceous bentwood H chairs, such as the H269 and H237, and stylized ottomans have become classics, while his 1930s and ’40s sofas, tables and storage cabinets, with their sweeping curves, stylized geometry and dark, richly-grained wood, embody the best of Art Deco, a style that was brought to worldwide attention at an exhibition in Paris in 1925.
