About the Item
This elegant dining set of six chairs by Arnold Merckx for Arco hails from the 1980s, a period when Merckx was deeply involved in defining the modern Arco identity.
Each chair features solid wood legs and sculpted wooden armrests that highlight the natural warmth and craftsmanship of the material. The seats and backs are upholstered in rich black saddle leather, offering both durability and a luxurious touch. The combination of wood and leather not only underscores comfort but also reveals the design aesthetics of late-20th-century Dutch furniture.
Merckx’s design blends clean, architectural lines with subtle curves: the armrests gently wrap, the seatback is composed to support, the legs are sturdy yet visually light. This gives the set versatility — they can complement minimalist interiors, but are equally at home in more traditional settings.
A true expression of late 20th-century European craftsmanship, this set is not just about form — it is built for use. The leather ages with character; the wood develops patina. With careful care, they retain their beauty and relevance decades on.
The oak wood is in a lovely condition with only some small but hardly noticeable wear underneath the handles of the armrests. The saddle leather is without any rips, tears or cuts and only on seat has some very small slightly more noticeable wear near the bottom of the seat as can be seen in the pics but overall in very nice vintage condition
