Mid-Century Modern Cabinetmaker Lounge Chair and Ottoman, Europe ca 1950s
About the Item
This pair of lounge chair and ottoman is an elegant and comfortable evidence of the mastery and artistry of the European cabinetmakers who defined mid-20th century modern seating. This duo is of the highest quality, both in terms of visual quality, materials, and craftsmanship. Mid-century modern is notable for its blending of classic modern design with a slightly more updated feel. This beautiful lounge chair and ottoman have a classic, comfortable style that is a prime example of the best qualities of what is referred to as mid-century modernism.
European furniture from the mid-20th century revolutionized the history of what we consider modern design today. Lounge chairs in particular have become unrivalled references in it. Cabinetmaker lounge chairs may seem similar at first sight, however each model’s individuality becomes evident upon closer inspection. In this lounge chair’s case, its sheer volume and the welcoming, “bear-like” shape stand out immediately. Still, it is the upholstered legs that provide its unique visual character. The synthesis that this chair and ottoman have achieved between form and function is outstanding, aesthetics and utility come together in a purely mid-century manner. The fully upholstered wooden frame rests on upholstered wood legs. The legs’ shape is still visible despite being covered in fabric. Without any tufting or festooning, the focus is on the round, flowing lines of the bodies and their upholstery. The exceptionally soft, premium wool blend fabric highlights the frames’ round edges, especially the chair’s voluminous arm- and backrest and similarly, the ottoman’s body.
We have added a matching, upholstered ottoman to provide additional comfort and visual interest. The round back and similarly upholstered legs on the ottoman are a pleasant touch that make a long-lasting, rock solid foundation for any seating. They also tie the ottoman to the chair visually. From the frames to the upholstery, this lounge chair and ottoman guarantee utmost quality and longevity. The pieces of this set are -quite literally - fully upholstered in a premium wool blend fabric that lends them a luxurious impression. Thanks to this combination of materials, the set is extremely soft and comfortable.

- European Mid-Century Modern Upholstered Lounge Chairs, Europe, circa 1950sLocated in Utrecht, NLMid-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...Category
