About the Item

This captivating curved iron chair, painted white, is a true masterpiece of 1930s Rationalist design, born from the skilled craftsmanship of French artisans of the era. Its fluid and clean lines perfectly embody the principles of Rationalism, where form serves function, creating an object that is both aesthetically appealing and exceptionally practical. The iron structure, masterfully curved, strikes a remarkable balance between visual lightness and material strength. The particular treatment of the iron, with small circular perforations decorating the seat and backrest, not only adds a distinctive element but also creates a play of light and shadow that enriches the space, giving the chair an almost sculptural elegance. The white paint, sober and refined, makes this chair versatile, capable of blending harmoniously into any setting, whether modern or classic. Originating from 1930s France, this chair reflects in every detail the influence of the Rationalist movement that swept through Europe during that period. Despite the passage of years, it retains its ability to captivate and fascinate, making it ideal for any environment, both indoors and outdoors. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of historical design, this chair is not just a piece of furniture but a true work of art that tells the story of European design, offering a touch of class and sophistication to any space.

Vintage Brazilian Sofa in Rattan
