A Pair of Mid-Century Armchairs With Stained Legs, Europe Mid 20th Century

About the Item

Mid-century modern design, a hallmark of 20th-century innovation, is celebrated for its harmonious blend of minimalism, organic shapes, and bold yet understated elegance. It introduced functionality as its central pursuit, in a contemporary yet timeless way, while simultaneously maintaining aesthetic beauty through new techniques of the era. This aubergine-coloured pair of armchairs showcase the period’s signature design ethos with a refined yet inviting presence. These luxurious chairs embody elegance and comfort in equal measure. With their soft curves, they cradle the sitter in a harmonious and just as stylish embrace. The chairs’ plush, generously padded bodies provide a great level of comfort, making the chairs ideal for prolonged periods of use. The mohair upholstery adds an extra dimension of classic sophistication to the aesthetic that is reminiscent of previous design movements such as the Art Deco era. The gently curved backrests feature a subtle decorative element, thanks to the single line of tufted buttons adorning each back. This detail introduces texture that highlights the tailored craftsmanship while also adding depth to the plush body. Their silhouette is both structured and approachable, with a simplicity that showcases their timeless appeal. The chairs rest on elegantly stained and lacquered legs in a similar shade to the body; the front legs take a conical shape, while the back legs are slightly angled outward to increase support. Every element, from the precise stitching to the seamless transition between materials, reflects a masterful attention to detail. Perfect for anchoring a living room, enhancing a reading nook, or adding warmth to a study, these armchairs will effortlessly elevate any space and add much sought-after cosiness. With their craftsmanship, impeccable detailing, and natural materials, these pieces seamlessly integrate form and function, representing a statement of mid-century design.

Pair of Wooden Armchairs with Upholstered Cushions, Europe 20th Century
Located in Utrecht, NL
With wedge and hammer, the chair-maker slowly creates shorter pieces to be worked into the seat, spindle, crest rail, and legs. This pair of wooden armchairs stands as a proud example of traditional design practice; their solid nail-free joints highlight the skill and artistry of its makers. This construction method enhances the armchairs’ structure and presents the reverence it deserves. This set borrows from great past examples, such as the Windsor chair or - more broadly - the spindle models widely used throughout Europe during the 20th century. These elements render this specific design truly timeless. They are among the most recognisable models of mid-century chairs in Europe. The spindle chairs are a ubiquitous classic that does just as well in the living room, dining room or even the hall, drawing every eye to it. The proportions are well-thought-out, and the see-through design adds a simple and airy touch. Each chair of this set has fifteen symmetrically arranged wooden slim spindles that form the back and armrests. A continuous arm and bow-back frame the slim spindles, offering a seamless joint from the seat and the back. The legs splay outward and run into the seat, which is a single wood piece slightly inclined to assist a more comfortable seating experience combined with the custom-made cushion upholstered in premium bouclé fabric. This model’s design is a classic that goes beyond trends, a product of a deep-rooted desire to showcase impeccable craftsmanship and a stylish aesthetic without compromising the quality of production or materials. This spindle chair set...
