1960s Czech Armchairs by J. Smidek for Ton, a Pair
About the Item
A graphic Modernist silhouette gives this pair of vintage wooden armchairs a timeless appeal. Produced in the former Czechoslovakia in the 1960s, the design is attributed to Jaroslav Smidek, who designed for many prominent Czech furniture makers of the mid-20th Century. These chairs combine the cushioned comfort of a gently reclined seat with the keen lines of an angular wooden frame. The seat has been freshly re-upholstered in dove-grey linen, creating a stylish yet soothing color palette alongside the inky black of the painted wood.

Jaroslav Smidek
The son of a furniture dealer and upholsterer, Jaroslav Smidek, like Jan Vanek and Jindrich Halabala, was born into the trade. Growing up, he helped out in the family workshop, where he learned his father’s craft.
Although he trained as an architect, Smidek quickly turned to industrial design, developing Montisektor furnishings, a line of pieces that could be assembled at home from prefabricated parts, in 1956 for VNP — a significant advance in Czech furniture production.
But it is his seating, such as the chairs he created for Jitona in the 1960s, that is most in demand. While his chairs carry a Scandinavian touch, there is no mistaking the gentle elegance of their uniquely Eastern European aesthetic.
