About the Item

Burov was established in 1948 as a French high-class furniture brand on the Rue Crozatier, the heart of the furniture district in Paris. Both a design house and furniture manufacturer, Burov relied on the in-house development and creation of all their pieces, becoming an iconic brand in Parisian design. This pair of armchairs expresses the Modernist ethos, which left its mark on 20th century design and beyond, while also showcasing French quality and flair. This movement did not shy away from geometric forms, as well as interesting textures and material pairings - attributes that are visible in this pair of armchairs. The angular shape of the chairs is highlighted by the wooden frame which follows the edges, from the tops of the arms to the bottom of the legs, to create a harmonious look. The uniqueness of these pieces is also brought forth as a result of the pairing of the warm wood with the upholstered bodies in a striped fabric, allowing the shades of yellow and green to shine. The texture of the fabric adds another layer of visual dimension and interest. From the geometric shape, to the rich fabric and polish of the wood, this pair of armchairs embodies the charm that made the mid-20th century one of the most iconic design eras. French elegance and quality craftsmanship come together to create this standout pair of chairs that are as aesthetically appealing as they are functional. Through their upholstered seat, back and arms, these chairs allow for the comfortable use that comes with the inevitable appreciation of quality design. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. These chairs come with their original upholstery or has been reupholstered by a previous owner. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information.
