Vintage Pair of Armchairs with Chrome Legs

About the Item

These petite lounge chairs have a low-slung design that looks Italian. In fact, they are Hungarian, dating to the late 1960s or 70s. In the post-war period, Hungarian luxury furniture production was sharply reduced and designs became very simplified, befitting a Socialist society. The best pieces were reserved for members of the party or cultural elites. These chairs have lightweight chrome-plated steel tube legs and angular shape which was inspired by Italian Brutalism. Despite their compact shape, they are comfortable even for six-footers. The frames are vintage.
