20th Century Armchairs by TON, a Pair
About the Item
This beautiful pair of Mid-Century Modern armchairs were made in Czechia by renowned furniture manufacturers TON, design attributed to J. Smidek. Low-set and comfortable, a deep seat upholstered in soft boucle is set at a gentle recline. Sloping bentwood armrests evoke the organic curves found in nature, while the sharp taper of the angled legs adds a graphic, Modernist note. The light cinnamon polish of the wood and the ochre red color of the fabric combine to create a warm neutral color palette, bringing a soothing quality to the stylish silhouette.

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.
