About the Item

Amidst the tumultuous political landscape of 1970s Czechoslovakia, designers demonstrated remarkable resilience. Despite the constraints imposed by the era, they managed to create innovative and functional pieces that embodied the principles of modernism. These club chairs, initially housed in the iconic RTVS program building - completed in 1975 - stand as clear visual icons to this creative spirit. The building's modernist style, innovative use of materials and structure likely influenced contemporary furniture designs, including these chairs. The chairs' design language, with its emphasis on clean lines, functional spaces, and modern aesthetics, echoes the architectural style of the building. This pair of club chairs from the 1970s are a captivating embodiment of geometric modernist design. Each chair features a cylindrical base with a circular seat, creating a robust foundation. The backrest and armrests - designed as a single, unified piece - form a semi-enclosed structure that envelops the sitter. This design juxtaposes sharp lines and right angles with the soft, rounded seat and premium fabric, creating a visually intriguing and inviting appearance. These chairs are upholstered in a light, plush fabric, adding comfort and sophistication to the bold, rigid form. The chairs' minimalist aesthetic, with its clean lines and lack of excessive decoration, reflects the modernist principles prevalent in Czechoslovakian design. The designers of the era, such as Jindřich Halabala, Miroslav Navrátil, and Karel Kozelka, were renowned for their ability to blend modernism with traditional craftsmanship, often using materials like wood, metal, and textiles to create elegant and versatile pieces easily recognisable within today’s design landscape. The unique fusion of modernist minimalism and traditional craftsmanship in these club chairs not only gives them their distinctive geometric forms, but also makes them a symbol of an era. They embody the innovative spirit of Czech designers during a transformative period in Central European design history. The RTVS, once the tallest building in the former Czechoslovakia, now stands unused and preserved. The design of these chairs is embedded with the RTVS building and Czech history, broadly fused with a timeless aesthetic - a testament to the era's design legacy, serving as a tangible link to the past.
