Brutalist Armchairs

BRUTALIST STYLE

The design of brutalist furniture encompasses that which is crafted, hewn and worked by hand — an aesthetic rebuke (or, at least, a counterpoint) to furniture that is created using 21st-century materials and technology. Lately, the word “brutalist” has been adopted by the realms of furniture design and the decorative arts to refer to chairs, cabinets, tables and accessory pieces such as mirror frames and lighting that are made of rougher, deeply textured metals and other materials that are the visual and palpable antithesis of the sleek, smooth and suave. 

ORIGINS OF BRUTALIST FURNITURE DESIGN

CHARACTERISTICS OF BRUTALIST FURNITURE DESIGN 

  • Use of industrial materials — tubular steel, concrete, glass, granite
  • Prioritizes functionalism, minimalism and utilization of negative space
  • Spare silhouettes, pronounced geometric shapes
  • Stripped-down, natural look; rugged textures, modular construction
  • Interiors featuring airy visual flow and reliance on neutral palettes

BRUTALIST FURNITURE DESIGNERS TO KNOW

VINTAGE BRUTALIST FURNITURE ON 1STDIBS

The term brutalism — which derives from the French word brut, meaning “raw” — was coined by architecture critic Reyner Banham to describe an architectural style that emerged in the 1950s featuring monumental buildings, usually made of unornamented concrete, whose design was meant to project an air of strength and solidity.

Le Corbusier essentially created the brutalist style; its best-known iterations in the United States are the Whitney Museum of American Art, which was designed by Marcel Breuer, and Paul Rudolph's Yale Art and Architecture Building. The severe style might have been the most criticized architectural movement of the 20th century, even if it was an honest attempt to celebrate the beauty of raw material. But while the brutalist government buildings in Washington, D.C., seemingly bask in their un-beauty, brutalist interior design and decor is much more lyrical, at times taking on a whimsical, romantic quality that its exterior counterparts lack.

Paul Evans is Exhibit A for brutalist furniture design. His Sculpture Front cabinets laced with high-relief patinated steel mounts have become collector's items nonpareil, while the chairs, coffee table and dining table in his later Cityscape series and Sculpted Bronze series for Directional Furniture are perhaps the most expressive, attention-grabbing pieces in American modern design. Other exemplary brutalist designers are Silas Seandel, the idiosyncratic New York furniture designer and sculptor whose works in metal — in particular his tables — have a kind of brawny lyricism, and Curtis Jere, a nom-de-trade for the California team of Curtis Freiler and Jerry Fels, the bold makers of expressive scorched and sheared copper and brass mirror frames and wall-mounted sculptures.

Brutalist furniture and sculptures remain popular with interior designers and can lend unique, eccentric, human notes to an art and design collection in any home.

Siegfried Pütz, armchair from the artist’s private collection, around 1940

By Siegfried Pütz

Located in Saarbrücken, SL

The armchair was created between 1930 and 1945, when artist and designer Siegfried Pütz was banned from working during the Nazi regime. In 2001, a year before her death, Rose-Maria Pütz gave the armchair, along with a table and the drawing Kosmischer Rhythmus (Cosmic Rhythm, 1958, black chalk), to the artist Margaretha Küwen. The handover took place in connection with the book Siegfried Pütz – Sein Schaffen (Siegfried Pütz – His Work), signed by Rose-Maria Pütz, which she presented to Margaretha Küwen with a personal dedication. Margaretha Küwen and her husband Michael Kohr were closely connected to the Pütz family through their work at the Freie Kunst-Studienstätte Ottersberg (Ottersberg Free Art Study Centre). Rose-Maria Pütz had already written the foreword to Küwen’s book Heilendes Malen (Healing Painting) in 1998. In January 2026, the armchair was acquired by Katharina Schütte, Margaretha Küwen’s daughter. The drawing Cosmic Rhythm remains in her possession. The armchair is made of ash wood, a material often used in the context of anthroposophical furniture...
