1960s Mid-Century Czech Armchairs, a Pair

About the Item

Produced in the former Czechoslovakia, this essential 1960s design is attributed to Jaroslav Šmídek. Comfortable angles and clean lines are designed to delight, influenced by the mid-20th Century Modernist movement in Central Europe. These low-profile armchairs are re-upholstered in updated neutral fabrics, chosen to compliment the elegant polish of the hardwood frame. Produced by various manufacturers and explored by generations of designers, the bentwood shape is infused with dynamism and movement, reflecting the origins of the technique and the optimism of the industrial revolution-- steam bent furniture was a technological innovation developed by the Thonet Brothers at the end of the 19th century. Later examples of these functionalist lounge chairs were influenced by the postwar fashions established at the international Expo 58 – the so-called ‘Brussels style.’
