Pair of Art Deco Chairs with Seats in Longhair Fabric, Europe 1930s

About the Item

These chairs were created in 1930s Europe and beautifully showcase the unique characteristics of Art Deco, an era-defining movement in furniture design. European cabinetmakers embraced this style, and in the years between the World Wars, produced some of the most exciting and innovative furniture the world had seen. The structure of these chairs is composed of wood with a beautiful veneer that displays charmingly unique patterns. The veneer is enhanced by the distinct form, especially by the curves, with the half circle shaped back and arms. The concave design enables the structures to stand on the elongated backs. This detail further adds to the charm of the model. At its inception, Art Deco was orientated towards the luxury market and paid little notice to costs and retail prices. Pieces were one of a kind; the era’s designers considered themselves the modern iteration of classic furniture makers. Their artistic approach was anchored by characteristic European refinement expressed by graceful forms and traditional methods like veneering and marquetry as seen in these chairs. From above the seats look as though they fit snugly in between the ‘floating’ armrests. The main charm of these chairs however, are the seat cushions upholstered in longhair sheepskin. The cascading fabric creates an interesting, luxurious look with an edge. As these chairs show, European furniture designers’ artistic approach was anchored by Art Deco refinement expressed through graceful forms and traditional methods. With a distinctive look and unforgettable characteristics, from the sculpted edges to the upholstery, this pair of chairs can leave its mark in every interior. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chairs have been reupholstered recently in a premium longhair fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.

European Upholstered Art Deco Lounge Chairs, Europe 1930s
Located in Utrecht, NL
In the design-wise glamorous world of 1930s Europe, exceptional seating pieces emerged and still embody Art Deco elegance. These lounge chairs, with their distinctive features, exude the spirit of the era and remain stylish examples of this influential design movement. The most striking aspect of these chairs is their characteristic, scalloped backs, which add a touch of opulence and Art Deco flair. With their symmetrical, curved lines, these type of backs were hallmarks of Art Deco furniture design, epitomizing the aesthetic of the period. The large, enveloping backrests dictate the shape of these chairs, as they visually form most of the structure. Similarly to club chairs - that are favourites for Art Deco enthusiasts - these chairs’ arms constitute a single piece with the backs resulting in a wide design profile. The chairs feature fully upholstered bodies, embracing the era’s ruling principle of luxurious comfort without sacrificing style. The upholstery has a rich green texture with multicoloured, curly strands that add a tactile dimension to the design. This tactile quality was characteristic of Art Deco design, as designers of the time were keen on exploring different materials and textures to create visually stunning and sensorially pleasing pieces. The well-chosen material thus cleverly highlights the curves and creates extra depth. The chairs' solid wood legs provide gentle contrast to the textile, while also providing a sense of stability and durability, ensuring that this pair will keep standing the test of time. Art Deco design often incorporated geometric and angular elements, however, in these lounge chairs, there is a harmonious blend of curves and straight lines, resulting in a balanced and inviting aesthetic. With their scalloped backs, symmetrical curves, green upholstery, and rich texture, this pair represents some of the best qualities of Art Deco era furniture...
