About the Item

The mid-century modern movement was more than a design trend - it was a new design ethos that emerged in a world recovering from war, seeking simplicity, functionality, and a break from the past's ornate styles. The movement was influenced by the International and Bauhaus movements, and it embraced a philosophy that good design should be accessible to all. This period saw the birth of numerous design innovations, particularly in furniture, that focused on sleek, clean lines and the use of quality materials, as seen with these easy chairs. The design consists of smooth sculptural frames crafted in curved and stained wood that support the finely tailored seats and backrests. The streamlined design of the wood structure immediately stands out for its pronounced lines and airy construction; it shows off the architectural precision put into both the design and the execution. There is a clear emphasis on comfort, from the tilted back to the sculpted, wide armrests, as well as the upholstered seat cushions. The light upholstery complements the dark stained wood by creating an apparent contrast both in colour and texture. The loose seat cushions and the curved armrests further show the designer’s mindset that revolved around the mid century ideal of “form follows function”, inspiring this pair of chairs that are as beautiful as they are comfortable. The backrests have gently rounded edges which adds to the stylish mid-century modern softness that is still much coveted. The design of mid-century chairs can have a significant impact on the mood and ambiance of a space. Their clean lines and organic, high-quality materials and forms can create a sense of calm and order, while their timeless elegance adds a touch of sophistication. Integrating mid-century chairs into contemporary decor is both an art and a homage to design history. The unquestionable quality of design, material, and craftsmanship makes these easy chairs a timeless addition to any space and style. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chairs have been reupholstered recently in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.

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...
