Art Deco Smoker Armchairs in Light Blue Velour, The Netherlands ca 1930s
About the Item
In the heart of Dutch design innovation during the 1930s emerged these exquisite embodiments of the fusion between Dutch modernism and the opulent Art Deco style. These angular armchairs, steeped in history, showcase a harmonious blend of form and function, capturing the essence of an era that embraced bold geometries and sophisticated materials alike.
The term "smoker chair" harks back to a time when smoking was a ritualistic and social activity. These types of chairs were crafted to cater to the needs of smokers, providing a comfortable and stylish perch for those indulging in a moment of relaxation. The design of these chairs is generally meticulous, often featuring a slightly reclined backrests, wide armrests, and sturdy yet elegant frames as seen in these chairs as well. During the 1930s, Dutch furniture design experienced a transformative phase, still visibly influenced by the burgeoning Art Deco movement. The movement, characterized by geometric patterns, lavish ornamentation, and a celebration of luxury materials, left an indelible mark on Dutch design. This pair of smoker armchairs, with their square-shaped solid wood frames, is a prime example of this influence. The solid wood frames, are hallmarks of Dutch craftsmanship and provide a robust foundation for the chairs, exuding a timeless quality. The square shape, emblematic of the Art Deco style, brings a sense of symmetry and order to the design, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that defined the era and this pair. The choice of light blue velvet for the upholstery is a stroke of brilliance, as it complements the solid wood frames with an air of sophistication and soft cosiness. The juxtaposition of the plush velour against the geometric lines of the wooden frames creates a visual feast—an aesthetic delight that epitomizes the smart and balanced pairing of the Dutch modern and the Art Deco styles.
It is in the seamless integration of materials and styles that these chairs truly shine. The marriage of solid wood and the sumptuous velour reflects the ethos of the time, where craftsmanship and elegance were paramount. The result is this pair of smoker armchairs that stands as a testimony to the rich cultural and design history of the Netherlands in the 1930s—a synthesis of practicality, luxury, and artistic ingenuity.
