About the Item

Effortlessly combining style and comfort, this pair of Mid Century Modern armchairs are a covetable find. Produced in the 1960s in the former Czechoslovakia, the design is attributed to Ludvik Volak, an architect and furniture designer known for his elegant use of thermoplywood. These chairs offer a beautiful example of his work: the clean, supple curves of the bentwood frame are cleverly echoed in the linear padding of the upholstery, forming a cohesive composition. The cushioned seat has been reupholstered in a corded fabric, adding a textural appeal to the sophisticated silhouette. The gentle patina of the ebonized wooden frame lends an attractive note of nostalgia.
