Upholstered Art Deco Armchairs with Birch Frames, Europe ca 1930s
About the Item
"There is no style like art deco that embraces both the figurative and the abstract, the feminine and the masculine, the monumenta, the stringent and the opulent, the functional and the unnecessary. Art deco is a seducer that, with its cool language, will generously enrich our lives with beauty".
This pair of armchairs exemplifies why works from the 1930s and 40s are often considered to be a visual connection between the innovative Art Deco and Arts and Crafts movements of the early 20th century and European modern art and design from after the Second World War. This pair carries design elements from the Art Deco movement as well as early mid-century design, resulting in a unique and immediately recognizable aesthetic that’s based on daring curves and materials. The design of these chairs features a sensual curved birch frames that contrast beautifully with the thick, fully upholstered seats and backs. Further strengthening the transition into a more minimalistic modern aesthetic, these chairs don’t have any ornamentation. What really sets this model apart from the rest of the era’s impressive repertoire are the elegantly curved arms ascending into the front legs. Thus, the wooden frames are effortlessly flowing and dynamic. The luxurious red mohair upholstery covering the bodies contrast beautifully with the dark birch frames and accentuate the curves of both the arms and the legs. Art Deco was characterized by sleekness, opulence, and geometry, often prioritizing rich colours and luxe fabrics. These characteristics are also seen here, especially in the unique arms. The consciously and cleverly utilized contrast between the straight back legs and the subtly curved front ones, and between the colours and textures, define this pair’s aesthetic. The birch has an eye-catching grain and colour variation, which is most expressive on the armrests.
Though elements of Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern are markedly different, both styles value beauty, shape, and colour. The outstanding visual character of this pair of armchairs is both traditional and modern, simply timeless. This is precisely the charm of European early 20-century pieces, the effortless blend of design styles paired with the highest quality of materials and craftsmanship.
