About the Item

The essence of Brutalism lies in the celebration of raw materials and uncompromising forms, and above all, a prioritisation of function over adornment. Both visually and technically, this pair of Spanish wooden fireplace chairs from the 1960s celebrates the inherent beauty of the material, characteristic of Brutalism. At first glance, the design of this pair is reminiscent of a fleur-de-lis. Crafted with an unwavering commitment to using nothing but wood, these chairs exemplify the artisanal skill of Spanish woodworkers. The quality of craftsmanship is exceptional and so is the respect for the material; the wood is left in the focus of these chairs, displaying its natural qualities, including the naturally occurring patina. Each part, meticulously handcrafted, also speaks to a bygone era where craftsmanship was synonymous with pride and dedication. Moreover, sensitive touches enliven this brutalist design, visible in the carefully carved bodies. The look of the chiselling also gives the pair an elemental feel while the peculiar shape of the backs increases the visual interest. The carved hole found on the top of the back of each chair, prevents the chairs from looking heavy, creating an airy look for the design. Wood has never gone out of style, and pieces with an emphasis on a natural look are only gaining popularity today. These chairs are equally striking standing alone, or as parts of an interior with a medley of styles. Today, as the design world rekindles its romance with Brutalism, these mid-century pieces have become coveted treasures. The resurgence of interest in brutalist furniture can be attributed to a longing for authenticity in an era dominated by mass production. Collectors and enthusiasts appreciate the honesty of design that eschews unnecessary embellishments, revealing the intrinsic qualities of the materials themselves. This pair showcases all these qualities, being a symbol of resilience, craftsmanship, and the enduring allure of simplicity. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use.

Pair of Sculptural Patinated Oak Spinning Chairs, Europe Ca Early 20th Century
Located in Utrecht, NL
The ‘spinning chair’, this historic type of seating has had numerous modern interpretations across Europe, however, most preserved the main functional characteristics: solid wood, enduring, high quality craftsmanship, a tall, straight back for good posture and freedom of movement. The art of spinning yarn is thousands of years old, but the spinning wheel as we know it is estimated to have arrived in Europe around the middle of the 13th century and along with it came the three or four-legged spinning chair. The backs were often hand carved with various motifs or fantasy creatures making each one unique and individual. As these oak chairs show, the Modernist movement influenced the traditional design by removing most of the intricate decorative elements, and substituting them with a more streamlined structure. The carved high backs and octagonal seats...
