Berlin Deko Expressionist Armchair

About the Item

This large-scale armchair embodies the bold expressionist spirit of 1920s Berlin Deco design, channeling influences from Lajos Kozma's innovative aesthetic sensibilities. The piece features a commanding silhouette with sculptural wooden arms and legs that showcase the baroque-inspired curves and volumetric presence characteristic of the period. The rich wood finish of the frame displays an elegant patina that complements the neutral upholstery, which maintains period authenticity while offering versatile placement options. The chair's gracefully curved arms flow into substantial legs with dramatic, sweeping contours that create a sense of movement and dynamism. The high back provides both comfort and stately presence, framed by decorative nailhead trim that adds a refined detail to the overall composition. This exceptional chair represents the vibrant dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and modernist experimentation that defined European design in the interwar period, particularly in cosmopolitan centers like Berlin, where craftsmen were pushing the boundaries between functional furniture and artistic expression.
