Pair of Midcentury Armchairs with Solid Beechwood Arms and Legs

About the Item

These sleek and modern armchairs were made in Budapest, Hungary in the 1960s. They are examples of midcentury Socialist furniture; the modern furniture made after World War 2 in East Bloc countries such as Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland and East Germany. Though the styles for the most part closely followed Western European fashions, there were local variations and local materials were favored over imported ones. Many pieces had a "Space Age" or Brutalist look which reflected the East's political competition with the West. These chairs are very simple and practical with elegant bent beechwood arms and tapered legs.

The best pieces were reserved for members of the party or cultural elites. These chairs have lightweight chrome-plated steel tube legs and angular shape which was inspired by Italian Brutalism...
