1960s Czech Upholstered Armchairs By Jiri Jiroutek, a Pair
About the Item
Introducing the 1960s Czech Upholstered Armchairs by Jiri Jiroutek, a pair that encapsulates the spirit of mid-century modern design with a hint of Eastern European charm. The clean, angular lines of the dark wooden frame are a nod to the minimalist aesthetics of the era, while the warm, textured upholstery in an inviting neutral tone ensures comfort is not sacrificed for style. These chairs are a study in balance, with the sturdy construction providing a reliable foundation for the soft, plush seating. Jiroutek's design philosophy shines through in the subtle details, like the gentle tilt of the backrest, designed for ease and relaxation. Ideal for a sophisticated interior, these armchairs offer both a timeless appeal and a unique historical narrative to enrich your living space.

Jiri Jiroutek
Few designers anywhere have created pieces that more distinctly shout mid-century modern than Jiri Jiroutek. Even as a young designer, Jiroutek reenvisioned the fabrication and functionality not only of cabinets and kitchen furnishings but also interior architecture.
However, it was the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair that ultimately inspired the Czech designer's funky, colorful, decorative yet multifunctional U-450 cabinets of the late ’50s and early ’60s that made Jiroutek a leading figure in the so-called Czech Brussels school.
Jiroutek's influence didn’t stop there. After revising an Ikea prototype design at the firm’s request in 1958, Jiroutek received an invitation from Ikea founder Ingvar Kamprad to join the company in Stockholm. The designs he created there in the late 1960s, as well as others inspired by his work at the renowned manufacturer Interiér Praha, remain Ikea best sellers to this day.
