Set of Mid-Century Modern Lounge Chairs and Footstool, Europe Late 20th Century
About the Item
This set of lounge chairs and footstool embodies the essence of mid-century modern design, seamlessly blending elegance with functional comfort. The construction of these stunning chairs revolves around the use of high-quality materials, and the technical mastery of the era’s European cabinetmakers in creating pieces that are as beautiful as they are practical.
The standout feature of these lounge chairs are the attractive, curved upholstered frames that define their silhouette. The exposed architectural wooden base supporting the comfortable seats and curved backs complement the design of this model greatly. The look serves as a counterweight to the voluptuous shell-like bodies, and the colour of the wood further complements the fabric choice. The overall design is focused on elegant and measured proportions, balanced compositions, and refined décor elements, further highlighting the excellence of the craftsmanship.
This set has an understated, elegant look that is harmonious and well-balanced. The design, through the gentle, rounded edges and shapes expresses cosiness without losing any of the elegance. The ergonomic design together with the footstool assure an exceptional lounging experience. These design elements have always been the specialty of European cabinetmakers. Combining modern aesthetics with an uncompromising level of craftsmanship, these chairs and footstool are exciting pieces sure to stand out in any environment.

- 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
