About the Item

Mid-Century Armchairs Designed by Jan Kalous for ÚLUV, Czechoslovakia, 1960s This rare and unique pair of armchairs, expertly designed by renowned Czech architect Jan Kalous, was manufactured by ÚLUV in former Czechoslovakia during the 1960s. Crafted from beech wood and rattan, these chairs beautifully blend materials, reflecting the design sensibilities of the mid-century era. Their distinctive design features sculptural lines and organic forms, enhanced by an exquisite patina that has developed over the years, adding depth and character to each piece. The combination of rattan and beech wood, sourced in Prague during this period, highlights the craftsmanship of the time and contributes to the chair's unique aesthetic appeal. These eye-catching armchairs are versatile enough to enhance various interior spaces, such as a stylish living room, a cozy family room, an intimate screening room, or a modern office. Moreover, their sophisticated design makes them an excellent choice for hospitality and corporate settings, including boutique hotel lobbies, upscale cocktail bars, exclusive members' clubs, and luxury lodges. The components of the chairs showcase a beautiful patina, which serves as a testament to the high-quality rattan used in their construction. This vintage mid-century furniture piece is not only a sustainable option due to its enduring materials but also represents a long-term investment that will remain functional and stylish for years to come. Its unique blend of artistry and practicality ensures it will captivate and elevate any space it occupies.
