About the Item

This elegant pair of lounge chairs is an interesting bridge between the 20th century’s earlier artistic movements, like Art Deco, and the modernist movement that was about to shape much of Europe’s furniture design for the following decades. While the early days of mid-century modernism were still heavily influenced by the designs of the previous decades, the later part brought with it the more angular Mid-Century Modern design that’s been still increasing in popularity. This set has the best visual qualities of both stages, with traditional materials and a modern, architectural look. The chairs of this pair are gracefully resting on four tapered, solid wooden feet. The strong lines and proportions of the chairs are perfectly balanced with the short feet. Like the legs, the bodies of these chairs are squared as opposing to the predominantly rounded lines of earlier Mid-Century Modern designs. This angular style is reminiscent of the Art Deco and provides elegant lines. The armless design is reminiscent of slipper chairs, but has a more edgy, architectural look that is inherently stylish. Fulfilling the fundamental design principles of exceptional sitting comfort and that the models must look good from every single angle, the seats are slightly raised, and the backs tilted for outmost comfort. Quality craftsmanship was evidently of optimum importance for the cabinetmaker who created these chairs. The element that further elevates these chairs is the upholstery. The light cow hide is exquisite and stand out against the design’s straight lines. With the major rise in popularity that Mid-Century Modern experienced, it’s easy to see touches of mid-20th century French style in contemporary homes. The natural and unfading beauty of wood, and the simple, modern and elegant design is timeless of the era. With an outstanding combination of high quality materials and French design elements, this pair is sure to provide comfort and style in any interior. Condition: In good vintage condition.
