European Mid-Century Modern Lounge Chair, Europe 1950s
About the Item
Dozens of pieces of furniture labelled with the design-world buzzwords “mid-century” and “mid-century modern” will come up on practically any furniture retailer’s search pane despite the fact that there is hardly anything that relates to the era’s design. This lounge chair however, is a true and unique example of the innovativeness of the style.
Admittedly, mid-century modern is a difficult term to define. Most of the designs of the mid-century had gone out of fashion by the late 60s, but in the early- to mid-eighties, interest in the period began to return. Looking at this chair it is easy to see why. There are several characteristics that will never go out of style: quality materials, functionality, and craftsmanship. This model has a defined curve that dictates the overall look. The upholstered body is curved with sectional parts, thanks to which the comfort of this lounge is supreme. Thanks to the ergonomics, the body of the sitter is fully supported. While the design is led by the upholstered structure, the tapered beech legs and armrests are also very appealing with their warm colour. The white lacquered metal arms in particular are an interesting and unexpected feature that adds modernity to the design and shows the experimentation with materials that defined the era.
Mid-century pieces are simply well-designed objects, with a timeless look that sits very well in contemporary homes and interiors—they still feel fresh today, they still feel modern. A lot of those pieces haven’t been bettered. They still stand the test of time as this unique lounge chair shows.

- European Mid-Century Modern Upholstered Lounge Chairs, Europe, circa 1950sLocated in Utrecht, NLMid-Century Modern, a design movement devoted to timeless functionalism established itself in the post-war period with furniture that appealed to the senses. Furniture design was guided by the famous maxim: “Form follows function.” For midcentury designers, materials were used for their own distinct; often a piece of furniture would combine only two materials or colours – creating tension and harmony without fuss or superfluous ornament and these fully upholstered lounge chairs are perfect examples of this sentiment. The duality of two materials and colour scheme create an elegant, self-supporting, and enticingly functional design. The combination of solid wood and high-quality upholstery is traditional in mid-century design for a good reason. The two materials complement each other by highlighting their unique material qualities. This pair falls into the category of the so-called biomorphic midcentury: furniture that relished in organic, curved, smooth surfaces, design that was moulded into the shapes of natural occurrences, and which was a lively contrast to the more austere machine aesthetic...Category
