About the Item
An armchair designed by Jaroslav Šmídek, model 53, produced by TON in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s. This mid-century modern piece exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship of Czech design, with its sculptural bentwood frame and striking, artful upholstery.
The beechwood structure has been fully restored and finished with a hand-applied satin matte varnish that enhances the natural beauty of the wood. The seat has been reupholstered in “Convexe” velvet by Casamance – a luxurious, high-quality fabric featuring geometric and curved Art Deco–inspired motifs. Both visually dynamic and pleasant to the touch, the fabric also offers excellent durability for everyday use.
Professionally restored and ready to use, this chair makes a bold statement on its own or as part of a curated interior. Ideal for use in a reading nook, living space, or as an accent piece.
Custom orders are available upon request. Clients may choose from a range of alternative fabrics and wood finishes. Fabric swatches and wood stain samples can be viewed at the end of the image gallery.
Please note: all custom orders are final and non-returnable.
Made in Czechoslovakia. Fully restored.

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.
