About the Item

In the midst of the swinging 1960s a remarkable design style emerged, a kind of mature mid-century modernism that captivated the essence of the era's design trends. These lounge chairs, mixing classic materials and shapes, remain exemplary representations of the innovative European furniture design that characterized the period. European designers sought to break away from the traditional and embrace bold, cosy shapes. These lounge chairs are no exception. Their stylish form is characterized by open, inviting lines, and soft, round edges. This design approach emphasized comfort and relaxation, a response to the desire for a more laid-back lifestyle and a rejection of the stiffness of earlier decades. The dark wood legs add a touch of sophistication and warmth to the chairs. What makes these legs particularly noteworthy is their functionality: gently splayed, they not only contribute to the chairs' stability but also provide stark visual contrast to the soft, textured upholstery. The combination of solid wood and high-quality upholstery is traditional in mid-century design for a good reason. The two materials complement each other by highlighting their unique material qualities. The designer of these chairs has evidently had a clear design idiom and guiding principles: function, durability, timeless design, and perhaps above all, comfort. This traditional yet playful pair combines all of these characteristics, which makes it ideal to be the focal point of any space. ‎Condition: In good vintage condition.

European Mid-Century Modern Upholstered Lounge Chairs, Europe, circa 1950s
Located in Utrecht, NL
Mid-Century Modern, a design movement devoted to timeless functionalism established itself in the post-war period with furniture that appealed to the senses. Furniture design was guided by the famous maxim: “Form follows function.” For midcentury designers, materials were used for their own distinct; often a piece of furniture would combine only two materials or colours – creating tension and harmony without fuss or superfluous ornament and these fully upholstered lounge chairs are perfect examples of this sentiment. The duality of two materials and colour scheme create an elegant, self-supporting, and enticingly functional design. The combination of solid wood and high-quality upholstery is traditional in mid-century design for a good reason. The two materials complement each other by highlighting their unique material qualities. This pair falls into the category of the so-called biomorphic midcentury: furniture that relished in organic, curved, smooth surfaces, design that was moulded into the shapes of natural occurrences, and which was a lively contrast to the more austere machine aesthetic...
