Art Deco Vintage Lounge Chairs Red Upholstery Pair Duo Jan Vanek 1940s
About the Item
Art Deco vintage lounge chairs pair duo with red upholstery designed by Jan Vanek (1891 - 1962, Czech Rep.) and produced by UP Závody.
An amazing freestanding pair of lounge chairs from bentwood with structured textile loose cover in warm red color. While the frame from bentwood beech shows the original condition, the loose cushions are newly covered with red textile woolen fabric.
We love this pair of lounge chairs in particular for its beautiful shape and the combination of strong and fresh colors red, black and white.
Good overall condition with signs of age and use like fine abrasions and fading at the frame, nothing which takes away the wonderful vibes and feel - stable and sturdy.

Jan Vanek
Elegance describes the designs of Jan Vanek.
Influenced by his family’s furniture company, Vandek studied woodworking. Following a stint in Germany, where he advanced his skills at established firms in Munich, Stuttgart and Heilbronn, he returned home to the former Czechoslovakia and took over the family business, which in 1920 became known as Spojené Uměleckoprůmyslové Závody, or UP Závody.
Vanek's early friendships and collaborations with architectural and design greats like Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Adolf Loos and others likely had much to do with his graceful style, best exemplified by his 1930s bentwood chairs, with the arabesque curves of their arms and legs conjoining to form open, dynamic loops.
True to Czech standards for uniformity, Vanek scarcely altered the design over decades of production, though he did gradually modernize his frames: His 1950s models are more angular, industrialized — and very definitely modern.
