About the Item

With their gentle curves and inviting texture, this pair of upholstered footstools embodies the refined craftsmanship and understated charm of mid-20th century European design. Combining comfort, artisanal detail, and visual interest, they offer a perfect balance of functionality and elegance. Each stool features a generously cushioned seat upholstered in soft sheepskin, providing a tactile and luxurious surface. The sheepskin’s natural warmth and texture enhance comfort, making these stools as pleasant to use as they are to admire. The plush, organic feel of the upholstery also complements the warm-toned wood below, creating a harmonious contrast between material and form. Beneath the seat, the wooden legs curve gracefully, connected by matching stretcher supports with fluid, undulating lines. This sculptural base adds visual rhythm while reflecting the era’s appreciation for both structural integrity and natural materials. The proportions are understated, allowing the footstools to blend seamlessly into a variety of interiors, while their textural richness ensures they never fade into the background. Whether paired with an armchair, placed at the end of a bed, or used as standalone accents, they bring a sense of warmth, charm, and character to any setting. This pair stands as a testament to the mid-century pursuit of blending utility with beauty, where every element, from material choice to structural form, was carefully considered. The combination of elegant curves, tactile upholstery, and honest craftsmanship makes them enduring examples of the era’s design ideals. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The footstools have been recently reupholstered in premium sheepskin. Each of our items can be reupholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.

Pair of Wooden Armchairs with Upholstered Cushions, Europe 20th Century
Located in Utrecht, NL
With wedge and hammer, the chair-maker slowly creates shorter pieces to be worked into the seat, spindle, crest rail, and legs. This pair of wooden armchairs stands as a proud example of traditional design practice; their solid nail-free joints highlight the skill and artistry of its makers. This construction method enhances the armchairs’ structure and presents the reverence it deserves. This set borrows from great past examples, such as the Windsor chair or - more broadly - the spindle models widely used throughout Europe during the 20th century. These elements render this specific design truly timeless. They are among the most recognisable models of mid-century chairs in Europe. The spindle chairs are a ubiquitous classic that does just as well in the living room, dining room or even the hall, drawing every eye to it. The proportions are well-thought-out, and the see-through design adds a simple and airy touch. Each chair of this set has fifteen symmetrically arranged wooden slim spindles that form the back and armrests. A continuous arm and bow-back frame the slim spindles, offering a seamless joint from the seat and the back. The legs splay outward and run into the seat, which is a single wood piece slightly inclined to assist a more comfortable seating experience combined with the custom-made cushion upholstered in premium bouclé fabric. This model’s design is a classic that goes beyond trends, a product of a deep-rooted desire to showcase impeccable craftsmanship and a stylish aesthetic without compromising the quality of production or materials. This spindle chair set...
