About the Item

Derived from the French "brut", meaning raw, Brutalism describes the architectural style that emerged in the mid-20th century, post–World War II, when low-cost housing and government buildings were composed of mainly raw, unrefined materials featuring structural elements over decorative design. With their minimalist construction, bare materials and natural colour palette, this pair of low chairs embodies Brutalist design characteristics. These low tripod chairs reflect the deliberate simplicity, rawness and strength sought out by the creators of Brutalist pieces. Without any heavy ornamentation, the focus falls on the natural grain of the wood, its authenticity being celebrated, rather than disguised or embellished. At the same time, the clean and defined lines of each chair is softened through the rounded edges. The sole form of ornamentation is present on the backrests and legs of the chairs. The semi-circles carved at the top of the backrests prevent them from looking heavy, creating an airy look in the midst of the solid structure. Still, the backrests provide plenty of surface to expose the beauty of the wood and natural imperfections, while also ensuring freedom of movement through the rather narrow shape. The designer opted to mirror the carving with an equally-shaped semicircle seat. As for the legs, the chairs are each supported by a robust tripod base, with solid, pyramid-shaped wooden legs that taper out, offering increased stability. These chairs feature solid wood construction that showcases the bare materials and structural elements. The quality of the woodworking is evident, with handcrafted edges and impeccable joinery, making it perfect for adding organic charm to any interior. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Dimensions: 14.17 in W x 15.16 in D x 29.13 in H; Seat height 14.57 in; Seat depth 10.24 in 36 cm W x 38.5 cm D x 74 cm H; Seat height 37 cm; Seat depth 26 cm

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...
