Iron Armchair with Upholstered Cushions by Georg Toth, Europe 1998

About the Item

This armchair draws inspiration from the aesthetics of Postmodernism; a period defined by its eclectic approach, where designers often mixed unconventional materials and colours. The juxtaposition of materials creates a striking visual contrast that is both functional and decorative. The body of this armchair is constructed from iron slats which elegantly surround the seat, forming both the backrest and armrests. These slats are meticulously arranged to create a geometric, almost sculptural look. The design blends the raw strength of metal with the softness of the cushions. The cushions are upholstered in a blue textured fabric that adds warmth and comfort to the overall design. The upholstery balances the chair visually, contrasting with the robustness of the metal and softening the look. This contrast results in an iconic design that feels bold and inviting. The unique interplay of visual elements, textures, and materials not only increases the versatility of this piece, but showcases the talented decision-making of its designer. This armchair would be a stunning addition to any modern or industrial-inspired interior. A fusion of postmodernist ideals and practical craftsmanship, this chair embodies the spirit of timeless European innovation and contemporary sensibility. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chair has recently been reupholstered in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.

Pair of Wooden Armchairs with Upholstered Cushions, Europe 20th Century
Located in Utrecht, NL
With wedge and hammer, the chair-maker slowly creates shorter pieces to be worked into the seat, spindle, crest rail, and legs. This pair of wooden armchairs stands as a proud example of traditional design practice; their solid nail-free joints highlight the skill and artistry of its makers. This construction method enhances the armchairs’ structure and presents the reverence it deserves. This set borrows from great past examples, such as the Windsor chair or - more broadly - the spindle models widely used throughout Europe during the 20th century. These elements render this specific design truly timeless. They are among the most recognisable models of mid-century chairs in Europe. The spindle chairs are a ubiquitous classic that does just as well in the living room, dining room or even the hall, drawing every eye to it. The proportions are well-thought-out, and the see-through design adds a simple and airy touch. Each chair of this set has fifteen symmetrically arranged wooden slim spindles that form the back and armrests. A continuous arm and bow-back frame the slim spindles, offering a seamless joint from the seat and the back. The legs splay outward and run into the seat, which is a single wood piece slightly inclined to assist a more comfortable seating experience combined with the custom-made cushion upholstered in premium bouclé fabric. This model’s design is a classic that goes beyond trends, a product of a deep-rooted desire to showcase impeccable craftsmanship and a stylish aesthetic without compromising the quality of production or materials. This spindle chair set...
