About the Item

The mid-20th century saw brilliant European designers working to create furniture of the highest quality that explored truly modern shapes and innovative techniques. Designers experimented with new materials and construction methods but, crucially, they prioritised elegance. This sculptural wingback armchair is a prime example of European designers' emphasis on form’s marriage to function. Cabinetmaker armchairs may seem similar at first sight - however, each model’s individuality becomes evident upon closer inspection. In this chair’s case, its sheer volume and welcoming shape stand out immediately. With a clear preoccupation with geometry, this chair’s outstanding architectural frame speaks of the mastery of the designer and of the producer. This curved armchair’s comfort is equaled by its stylishness and elegance. The chair is covered in a beautiful, soft longhair that highlights its unique silhouette. A conspicuous feature of this model is the design of the back and the armrests. The back has an enveloping shape that hugs the sitter; additionally, the armrests have a low and slightly outward curving shape that opens up the design, which creates an interesting look. The fully-upholstered wooden frame rests on short dark wood legs, which are tapered and slightly splayed, providing visual contrast to the light upholstery. From every single angle, this armchair offers a stunning silhouette and rich texture. This armchair is truly an elegant and comfortable evidence of the mastery and artistry of the European cabinetmakers who defined mid-20th century modern seating. The synthesis that this chair has achieved between form and function is outstanding: aesthetics and utility coming together in a uniquely mid-century manner. Above all, European designers believed that design could certainly be used to improve people's lives. This sentiment can be traced in the exquisite materials, the impeccable craftsmanship, and in the elegantly curved and rounded edges of this chair. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chair has been reupholstered recently in white longhair. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.
