German Armchair by Gelenka from 1954
About the Item
This German Armchair by Gelenka from 1954 is a remarkable example of innovative design and craftsmanship. Made from solid beech wood, stained and lacquered to a transparent finish, it offers both durability and elegance. The chair features a patented system of articulated springs, developed by Ernst Breitenborn, which includes interlocking wooden slats that create a flexible and springy seat and backrest. This thoughtful design ensures an exceptional level of comfort and support, making it a true standout in functional furniture.
The curved armrests add a graceful touch, enhancing the chair’s organic form while providing the perfect blend of form and function. As a key representation of German Mid-Century design, this piece reflects the era’s emphasis on clean lines, simplicity, and innovative use of materials. Its unique spring system and minimalist aesthetic showcase the timeless appeal of Mid-Century design, offering a sophisticated addition to any collection or interior space.
