About the Item

The firm focus on comfort and functionality set apart European seating models of the mid and late 20th century. This pair of armchairs is a prime example of this design philosophy: they remove unnecessary ornamentation in favour of quality craftsmanship. This design choice explains their timeless charm, versatility, and enduring appeal. These armchairs are elegant and cosy to both look at and sit in, making them true to their mid-century modern heritage. The frames have a distinct, gently curved armrest forming a blooming outward movement on the side. This particular design element recalls Scandinavian modern seating design, especially the rounded shape of the sloping arms. The backs are lightly reclined for comfort and have stylish upholstered buttons arranged in two parallel lines. The upholstery has a rich golden colour and texture, providing a bold look that playfully highlights the vivid buttons. The chairs' solid wood legs offer gentle contrast to the textile; their conical shape provides a sense of stability and durability, while the back legs are tapered and slightly bent to ensure structural support for the body. The differing legs add visual interest to the design as well, breaking the otherwise perfectly symmetrical lines of the body. The enduring tradition of meticulous design and master craftsmanship persisted well into the second half of the 20th century. Paired with premium materials, these armchairs are not just furniture but heirloom pieces that have proven their resilience to the changing times, both in terms of aesthetics and quality. ‎Condition: In good vintage condition.

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...
