Brutalist Oak and Cane Tripod Chair, Europe 20th Century

About the Item

‎European brutalism emerged in the mid-20th century as an architectural and design movement emphasizing raw, unpolished materials and functional forms. Born from post-war pragmatism, it sought to strip away ornamentation, focusing instead on the honest expression and structure. This aesthetic extended beyond architecture into art and furniture making, where designers embraced wood, metal, and natural fibers to create striking pieces that celebrated great craftsmanship and utility. Brutalist furniture pieces, like this chair, reflect this philosophy with their simple forms and an earth-toned palette. This piece exudes a refined rawness, while delivering a unique and functional design. This tripod chair brings together natural materials to form a distinct angular shape. The oak frame showcases its natural grain with its rich brown tone and beautiful patina. The seat, woven from sandy-toned cane, introduces a more tactile element that contrasts beautifully with the oak frame. Cane is an incredibly durable material that stands the test of time. Metal details are visible on the chair’s backrest, further strengthening the design and offering a sturdy, robust feel. The interplay of sturdy materials highlight the brutalist commitment to celebrating the inherent qualities of raw elements while ensuring the chair’s longevity. Moreover, the tripod design ensures a distinctive silhouette, offering both visual intrigue through its bold geometric form, and functional stability. The stretchers placed between the three legs of the chair provide additional support, further highlighting the structural integrity of the piece. This chair isn’t just furniture; it represents a bridge between art and functionality. Its honest beauty and expert craftsmanship make it an enduring addition to any space, elevating a room while serving as a pragmatic seating solution. Condition: In good vintage condition.

Late 20th Century Anglo-Chinese Chairs with Caned Seats, Europe 1980s

Located in Utrecht, NL

The influence of Chinese design on the West has been subtle, almost by osmosis, but we can see references in much of western art and design. Much of Europe has long had a magpie tradition of taking from the different cultures it has come into contact with in its past, furniture being no exception. Similar to European Chinoiseries, Britain formulated an Anglo-Chinese style that copied Chinese models yet adhered to British fashions affecting furniture design. The resulting aesthetic is quite unique and has evolved much in the past decades as demonstrated by these armchairs. These solid, exotic wood chairs...

Sculptural Patinated Oak Spinning Chair, 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 this oak chair shows, 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 back and octagonal seat...
