Czech Tubular Steel Chair by Hynek Gottwald, 1930s
About the Item
A rare and striking example of Czech functionalist design from the 1930s, this tubular steel chair by Hynek Gottwald captures the confident spirit of early modernism. Its clear, minimalist lines—elevated by a carefully restored green iron yarn seat and backrest—reflect the pioneering influence of Bauhaus-era principles, where form was guided by function and ornament gave way to utility. The nickel-plated steel frame retains its original finish, a testament to the enduring quality of interwar industrial craftsmanship.
Designers like Marcel Breuer and Jindřich Halabala redefined the future of living spaces with their radical approach to furniture, and this piece sits comfortably in that lineage. Gottwald, one of Czechoslovakia’s key tubular steel manufacturers, collaborated with several notable designers of the time, and this chair bears the same confident clarity of their most celebrated works. The wooden slats on the sides of the frame not only support the iron yarn upholstery but add a tactile warmth to the cool geometry of the steel—a subtle interplay of materials that feels both rational and refined.
