Czech Tubular Steel Cantilever Chair from 1930s

About the Item

This Czech Tubular Steel Cantilever Chair from the 1930s is a stunning example of modernist design, combining sleek functionality with timeless elegance. The nickel-plated steel tube frame, with its beautiful patina, showcases the craftsmanship of the era, while the beech wood seat and back frame add a natural touch to the industrial form. The chair's padded seat, backrest, and armrests, newly reupholstered in black leather, offer both comfort and sophistication. A true icon of the Bauhaus-inspired design movement, this cantilever chair exemplifies the era’s focus on simplicity, utility, and the integration of new materials and manufacturing techniques. Its innovative tubular steel frame, which eliminates the need for back legs, creates a floating, cantilevered effect that was revolutionary at the time. This chair is not only a functional piece of furniture but also a stylish tribute to the modernist spirit of the 1930s, making it a perfect addition to contemporary spaces with an appreciation for design history.
