Mid-Century Modern Chrome & Leatherette Lounge Chair with Footstool, Europe 1960

About the Item

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this chair and footstool pair exudes both elemental modern elegance and comfort, making it a timeless and stylish addition to any interior space. The sleek chrome frames offer a striking contrast to the supple black leatherette upholstery, creating a visually captivating aesthetic. The clean lines and minimalist silhouette, characteristic of Mid-Century Modern design, ensure that this chair and stool effortlessly blend into contemporary as well as classic settings. The overall aesthetic beautifully speaks of the zeitgeist of the 1960s’ Europe, a period characterized by a spirit of experimentation and a departure from traditional norms towards modern experimentation. At the systematic heart of this set is the distinctive swivel support system, a hallmark of ergonomic ingenuity during the 1960s. This feature not only adds a functional dimension to the chair but also underscores the dynamic relationship between form and utility. The swivel system allows for effortless movement, granting users a heightened sense of flexibility and interaction with their environment. This pair boasts an almost post-modern flair, evident in the matching chrome-plated bases and wire steel frames. The juxtaposition of these materials creates a striking visual contrast. The chrome-plated bases add a touch of sophistication and modernity, while the wire steel frames contribute an element of industrial flair. Together, they make for a harmonious balance between contemporary elegance and raw, industrial style.The individual square black leatherette cushions fit snugly within the frames, creating clean lines and a sense of cohesion. This meticulous integration not only enhances the chairs and footstool's visual appeal but also ensures a comfortable and supportive seating experience for the whole body. The overall design speaks to the zeitgeist of the 1960s, a period characterized by a spirit of experimentation and a departure from traditional norms. This set embodies the essence of mid-century modern design, marked by its commitment to simplicity, functionality, and a bold departure from the ornate styles of the past.

  • European Mid-Century Modern Upholstered Lounge Chairs, Europe, circa 1950s
    Located in Utrecht, NL
    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...
