Mid-Century Modern Lounge Chair by a European Cabinetmaker, Europe ca 1950s
About the Item
Strongly influenced by the functional forms of the Bauhaus school in Germany, European mid-century designers led the way in furniture design during the 1950s. They combined traditional craftsmanship, Minimalist design and the highest quality materials with the inspiration brought by new Industrial technologies.
The elegant organic lines of this lounge chair’s design create a striking Silhouette that is typical of mid-century modernism. The embracing back and the curved arms create the cosy impression which is partially why mid-century modernist pieces are so influential today. The armrests run down to the very end of the seat, and are sculpted to perfection. The generous proportions and luxurious upholstery provide great sitting comfort in the name of functionality, while the subtle elements like the wingback and button tufting provide visual interest. The short wooden legs are thicker in the front providing additional visual interest while also keeping the cosy look of the design. The modern aesthetic is further elevated by the textured, multicoloured upholstery that complements the shape and the stained wood legs as well.
From every single angle, this lounge chair offers stunning lines and a rich texture. Above all, mid-century designers believed that design could certainly be used to improve people's lives. Looking at this chair, this evidently wasn’t a far-fetched goal.

- 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
