European Mid-Century Modern Upholstered Lounge Chairs, Europe, circa 1950s
About the Item
Mid-Century Modern, a design movement devoted to timeless functionalism established itself in the post-war period with furniture that appealed to the senses. Furniture design was guided by the famous maxim: “Form follows function.”
For midcentury designers, materials were used for their own distinct; often a piece of furniture would combine only two materials or colours – creating tension and harmony without fuss or superfluous ornament and these fully upholstered lounge chairs are perfect examples of this sentiment. The duality of two materials and colour scheme create an elegant, self-supporting, and enticingly functional design. The combination of solid wood and high-quality upholstery is traditional in mid-century design for a good reason. The two materials complement each other by highlighting their unique material qualities. This pair falls into the category of the so-called biomorphic midcentury: furniture that relished in organic, curved, smooth surfaces, design that was moulded into the shapes of natural occurrences, and which was a lively contrast to the more austere machine aesthetic of the Bauhaus. As such, these lounge chairs feature a welcoming curved back with a round edges that are mimicked in the arms as well. The elegant organic lines of the design create a striking silhouette. Not neglecting functionality, the generous proportions and luxurious upholstery provide great sitting comfort. The dark legs are splayed for stability, and provide great contrast to the bodies’ light colour and soft lines.
The designer of these chairs has evidently had a clear design idiom and guiding principles: function, durability, timeless design, and perhaps above all, comfort. This traditional yet playful pair combines all of these characteristics, which makes it ideal to be the focal point of any space.
