Pair of Upholstered Art Deco Lounge Chairs, Europe ca 1940s
About the Item
Art Deco, the glamorous and influential design movement that emerged in France during the first half of the 20th century, left an indelible mark on the world of interior design. Characterised by its bold geometric shapes, rich materials, and luxurious aesthetics, Art Deco transformed the way we perceive interior spaces. It was a testament to the fusion of form and function, and this ethos is beautifully exemplified in this pair of chairs.
European designers sought to break away from the traditional and embrace bold and geometric, yet cosy, shapes. These lounge chairs are no exception; fully upholstered in a luxurious fabric, these chairs epitomise the essence of comfort and style. The large, enveloping backrests dictate the shape of these chairs, as they visually form most of the structure. Similarly to club chairs - a favourite of Art Deco enthusiasts - these chairs’ arms flow from the backrest, resulting in a wide design profile. Their stylish form is characterized by open, inviting lines, and soft, round edges. This design approach emphasised comfort and relaxation, a response to the desire for a more laid-back lifestyle and a rejection of the stiffness of earlier decades. The soft curves that define their shape not only evoke a sense of inviting comfort but also serve a practical purpose: the curvature conforms to the natural contours of the human body, making them the perfect spot to engage in leisurely conversation. The chairs' solid wooden feet provide gentle contrast to the soft textile, while also providing a sense of stability and durability, ensuring that this pair will keep standing the test of time. Art Deco design often incorporated geometric and angular elements - however, in these lounge chairs, there is a harmonious blend of curves and straight lines, resulting in a balanced and inviting aesthetic.
These chairs symbolise an era of sophistication and luxury, and their enduring popularity is a testament to the timeless allure of Art Deco pieces. They seamlessly integrate into a variety of design schemes, enhancing the overall aesthetic and imbuing the space with a touch of opulence.
