About the Item

This exquisite easy chair, crafted from calamander wood - one of the most valuable decorative hardwoods - epitomises the refinement of 20th century European craftsmanship. The rounded body offers an inviting sense of comfort and support, while maintaining a balanced look through a mix of well-thought out details. This chair showcases a harmonious blend between textures and materials to result in a timeless design. The striking contrast of the straight, exposed armrests complements the organic curves of the chair’s body, creating a beautiful juxtaposition of fluidity and structure. The armrests, sturdy and sharp, provide a bold statement that enhances the chair’s modern yet classic aesthetic. The smooth, dark tones of the calamander wood further elevate the visual appeal, where the grain of the wood displays its remarkable natural qualities. The mix of black and brown shades catches the eye with every angle while the smooth finish of the wood highlights its luxurious texture. These elements ensure that the chair stands as both a functional piece of furniture and a work of art. With the fabric’s muted blue tone, it balances the wooden structure of the arms and legs to enhance the piece’s versatility. The craftsmanship of this easy chair is a testament to the skilled artisans of its time, who paid meticulous attention to every detail. Whether placed in a classic or contemporary setting, this chair brings a sense of refined sophistication to any room. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use.

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...
