About the Item

Bold geometric shapes, striking silhouettes and a luxurious feel, are some of the most defining terms for the early 20th Century movement that forever changed design. Art Deco left an indelible mark in the art world, public spaces, and people’s homes for generations to come. The movement celebrated luxury and the simplicity of sleek design, while placing great value on visual qualities, in order to deliver glamorous pieces, capable of inspiring and reviving a post-WWI Europe. This pair of armchairs epitomises the streamlined elegance of the era, with its distinctly square silhouette and geometric precision. The chairs showcase a square shape, with the height, depth and width being very close in dimension. The bodies are covered in a fabric with detailed geometric stitching, creating a grid-like texture that enhances its straightforward, structured aesthetic. Dressed in a soft sage green fabric, the chairs exude sophistication, adding a subtle yet luxurious tone to any space. The wooden legs provide a sturdy foundation while complementing the chair's refined design with their warm finish. While the front legs are slightly tapered, the back legs maintain the angular form of the chairs through their rectangular shape. Perfect for lovers of vintage and modernist styles, this pair of armchairs is a timeless blend of comfort and style. The delicate sage colour, contrasted by the bold design make Art deco furniture - like this pair - an ideal addition to an array of living spaces. Condition: in good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chairs have been reupholstered recently in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.

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...
