About the Item

The 1960s witnessed the rise of Brutalism, a style characterised by its unpretentious aesthetic and robust construction. While it is often associated with large concrete structures, the Brutalist influence extended into the realm of furniture design, where it found unique expression — as this pair of armchairs showcase. The construction of this pair is rather traditional in its material choice. Each armchair features a solid, yet graceful frame, crafted from oak. The natural beauty of oak and its versatile grain are perfectly displayed throughout the chairs, especially on the backrests. The cushions are upholstered in a rich, off-white boucle fabric — inviting the sitter to have a complex experience, between the sturdiness of the oak structure and the softness of the upholstery. The combination of materials and finishes results in visually appealing pieces while adding warmth and comfort to the overall design. The dualism within these chairs is amazing: the chairs can fulfill their functional purpose in an interior while also achieving their aesthetic role. The oak bodies’ proportions are very harmonious, with architectural backs and sturdy legs. These functional aspects reflect the Brutalist design principles, emphasizing minimalist form and practicality. The exposed joints and structural elements are reminiscent of industrial design, celebrating the beauty of rawness and mechanical ingenuity. The chairs embody on one hand modernity while maintaining their timeless look, making them versatile and stylish additions to any space. Their unique design speaks to an appreciation of both past and present, offering a sophisticated and inviting seating option that blends comfort with cutting-edge design. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chairs have been reupholstered recently in a premium boucle fabric.
