About the Item

František Jirák for Tatra Nábytok Lounge Chair in Original Upholstery, 1960s Czechoslovakia This iconic lounge chair was designed by František Jirák for Tatra Nábytok in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s. A masterwork of Central European modernism, the chair reflects the era’s emphasis on both form and function — blending ergonomic comfort with bold, architectural lines. Crafted from solid beech wood, the frame is an outstanding example of mid-century design principles. The legs are sharply angled, giving the piece a dynamic forward motion, while the sculptural open armrests add a lightness and visual rhythm. The craftsmanship is both refined and durable, characteristic of Tatra Nábytok’s high production standards. The chair retains its original two-tone upholstery — a warm textured red fabric across the seat and backrest, complemented by grey textile sides — which adds a touch of playful contrast to the clean lines of the wooden frame. The fabric is in good vintage condition, showing only minor, expected signs of age and use. The seat and backrest remain comfortable and supportive, making this piece just as functional as it is visually striking. Designed for relaxation but executed with architectural precision, this lounge chair is perfect for a stylish reading corner, living space, or modern interior seeking an authentic touch of 1960s Czech design. It is both a collectible piece and a practical seating solution — ideal for those who appreciate originality and craftsmanship in their interiors. Designer: František Jirák Manufacturer: Tatra Nábytok Origin: Czechoslovakia Date: circa 1960s Condition: Good vintage condition with original upholstery and minor traces of use Dimensions: Height: 84 cm (33.1 in.) Width: 70 cm (27.6 in.) Depth: 90 cm (35.4 in.) Seat Height: 40 cm (15.7 in.) A timeless and elegant piece that captures the spirit of mid-century Eastern European design — authentic, expressive, and enduringly modern.
