About the Item

Some exceptional seating pieces emerged during the 1950s, embodying elegant elements of the past and making use of decorative features. With their distinctive scallop backrest, these lounge chairs exude the era's spirit and remain stylish examples of a time period where influential design models left a significant mark. The most striking aspect of these chairs is their characteristic backrest, which adds a luxurious touch and flair reminiscent of early 20th-century Art Deco club chairs. With their symmetrical, curved lines, these backrests were hallmarks of 1920s and 1930s furniture design, epitomising the period's aesthetic. Greatly inspired by those forms, some later examples - such as this pair - showcase that same flair with a modern touch. The large, enveloping backrest dictates the shape of these chairs, as it visually forms most of the structure resulting in a beautiful rounded profile. The chairs, with their fully upholstered bodies, embrace the ruling principle of luxurious comfort without sacrificing style. The rich textural green upholstery and multicoloured, curly strands add a tactile dimension to the design, enhancing comfort. The chairs' solid wood legs provide gentle contrast to the textile, while providing a sense of stability and durability, ensuring that this pair will keep standing the test of time. With their scalloped backs, symmetrical curves, green upholstery, and rich texture, this pair represents some of the best qualities of Art Deco-inspired designs from mid-century Europe. They capture the essence of an era marked by luxury, sophistication, and a celebration of form and function. ‎Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use.

European Upholstered Art Deco Lounge Chairs, Europe 1930s
Located in Utrecht, NL
In the design-wise glamorous world of 1930s Europe, exceptional seating pieces emerged and still embody Art Deco elegance. These lounge chairs, with their distinctive features, exude the spirit of the era and remain stylish examples of this influential design movement. The most striking aspect of these chairs is their characteristic, scalloped backs, which add a touch of opulence and Art Deco flair. With their symmetrical, curved lines, these type of backs were hallmarks of Art Deco furniture design, epitomizing the aesthetic of the period. The large, enveloping backrests dictate the shape of these chairs, as they visually form most of the structure. Similarly to club chairs - that are favourites for Art Deco enthusiasts - these chairs’ arms constitute a single piece with the backs resulting in a wide design profile. The chairs feature fully upholstered bodies, embracing the era’s ruling principle of luxurious comfort without sacrificing style. The upholstery has a rich green texture with multicoloured, curly strands that add a tactile dimension to the design. This tactile quality was characteristic of Art Deco design, as designers of the time were keen on exploring different materials and textures to create visually stunning and sensorially pleasing pieces. The well-chosen material thus cleverly highlights the curves and creates extra depth. The chairs' solid wood legs provide gentle contrast to the textile, while also providing a sense of stability and durability, ensuring that this pair will keep standing the test of time. Art Deco design often incorporated geometric and angular elements, however, in these lounge chairs, there is a harmonious blend of curves and straight lines, resulting in a balanced and inviting aesthetic. With their scalloped backs, symmetrical curves, green upholstery, and rich texture, this pair represents some of the best qualities of Art Deco era furniture...
