About the Item
The 1930s were marked by a fusion of modernity and elegance, emphasizing luxury, geometric forms, and comfort in furniture design across Europe. Before giving way to mid-century modernism and its focus on function over form, Art Deco pieces coupled geometry and craftsmanship to arrive as elegantly impressive additions to their interiors.
These armchairs epitomise the lavish yet functional design principles that characterised the Art Deco period. The chairs feature rounded, voluminous bodies and plush, generously padded seats, creating a bold and inviting silhouette. The design is curvilinear, with flowing contours that soften the structure, giving the armchairs an approachable and relaxed feel. The upholstery, a textured beige fabric, contributes to the pair’s overall plush aesthetic, offering soft tactile comfort that enhances its inviting nature. The clean lines of the chairs are complemented by the rounded impression, making it an excellent balance of timelessness and functionality. Fulfilling the fundamental design principles of exceptional sitting support, the backs are subtly tilted for comfort. Quality craftsmanship was evidently of importance for the cabinetmaker who created these chairs. The short wooden feet give the pair the needed support, while ensuring that the eye is rather drawn to the chairs' bodies, complimenting but not overpowering.
These armchairs not only embody the Art Deco movement’s focus on luxurious materials and sophisticated forms but also serve as a symbol of the period's merging of utility with grace. The design invites its user to experience comfort, while the elegant fabric choice and subtle detailing bring refinement to any space.

Italian Modern Upholstered Armchairs with Tapered Feet, Italy, circa 1950s
Located in Utrecht, NL
The Mid-Century Modern era is notable for its blending of Classic modern design elements with a slightly more updated feel. This beautiful pair of Italia lounge chairs has a Classic, comfortable style that is a prime example of the best qualities of what is referred to as Modernism in European design.
Several key factors define the Italian approach to design: respect for craftsmanship, quality materials and finally, an elegant, high-end look. Upholstered cabinetmaker chairs may seem similar at first sight; however, each model’s individuality becomes evident upon closer inspection. In these chairs’ case, their thick, welcoming shape and the sleek, tapered wooden feet Stand out immediately. The design has achieved a perfect balance between form and function, in which aesthetics and utility come together in a purely Mid-Century Modern manner. The fully upholstered wooden frames rest on dark lacquered wood legs. The feet are splayed to support stability, while their stylish dark colour contrast to the elegant, light upholstery. The backs are relatively low, enhancing the stylish look along with the thick arms, backs, and seat cushions. Together these design elements create a modern look with the beloved organic, curvy aesthetic. The exceptionally soft, textured fabric highlights the bodies’ rounded edges and sheer volume.
Italy was especially passionate about furniture and product design during the mid-century, an area where the country remained faithful to a figurative repertoire of substantial classicism, while not disdaining impulses of authentic modernity. As a result, Italian modern furniture...
