About the Item
Introducing an iconic pair of armchairs in the Art Deco style from the 1940s, originating from Czechoslovakia. These armchairs are the work of the renowned architect Jan Vaněk and are characterized by their timeless design, which remains relevant even after decades.
The armchairs are crafted from solid beech wood with oak veneer, giving them an elegant and robust appearance. They feature well-preserved webbing and original textile upholstered seats and backrests, which have been professionally machine cleaned. The entire wooden structure has undergone careful restoration, and the original polish has been revived, highlighting the natural beauty of the wood.
This pair of armchairs is a perfect combination of historical elegance, functionality, and comfort, ideal for complementing any interior with an appreciation for Art Deco design.

Jan Vanek
Elegance describes the designs of Jan Vanek.
Influenced by his family’s furniture company, Vandek studied woodworking. Following a stint in Germany, where he advanced his skills at established firms in Munich, Stuttgart and Heilbronn, he returned home to the former Czechoslovakia and took over the family business, which in 1920 became known as Spojené Uměleckoprůmyslové Závody, or UP Závody.
Vanek's early friendships and collaborations with architectural and design greats like Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Adolf Loos and others likely had much to do with his graceful style, best exemplified by his 1930s bentwood chairs, with the arabesque curves of their arms and legs conjoining to form open, dynamic loops.
True to Czech standards for uniformity, Vanek scarcely altered the design over decades of production, though he did gradually modernize his frames: His 1950s models are more angular, industrialized — and very definitely modern.
