About the Item

The 20th century was period when some of the most popular, and iconic design movements emerged. The Art Deco movement for instance, elevated the status of everyday objects through bold, geometric forms, sleek figures, and material wealth and sophistication. Modernism, on the other hand, emphasized clean lines, simple shapes and organic materials to achieve functionality. This movement dominated the design world with its popularity, and influenced the creation of many pieces, like these armchairs. This timeless pair of chairs boasts a beautiful frame that highlights European craftsmanship, steeped in 20th century elegance. Made with meticulous attention to detail, their geometric shape is further highlighted by the beautiful material choices. The chairs feature upholstered bodies, embracing the era’s principle of comfort without sacrificing style. The light, off-white fabric, with its blue stripes is beautifully framed by the chair’s armrests. The wooden overlay placed on either arm adds a gentle visual contrast to the textile, at the same time highlighting the captivating look of both materials. The design is completed by four robust, square feet, in a dark stain, which provide a sense of stability and durability, ensuring that this pair will keep standing the test of time. 20th century design often incorporated geometry and skilled craftsmanship to create timeless pieces. The work of European furniture makers resulted in a balanced aesthetic that is sure to be a beautiful addition to any interior, as shown by this pair of armchairs.

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...
