Pair of Art Deco Lounge Chairs with Brass Feet, Scandinavia circa 1940s

About the Item

This elegant pair of Art Deco lounge chairs exemplifies the refined design sensibility of Scandinavian craftsmanship from the 1930s and 40s. Featuring clean, geometric lines and a harmonious blend of form and function, these chairs showcase the era’s penchant for luxurious simplicity. The stylish form of these chairs is characterised by open, inviting lines, and soft, round edges. This design approach emphasised comfort and relaxation, while still maintaining an air of luxury. Upholstered in a rich, yet understated fabric, these chairs exude elegance, combining comfort with an aesthetic that is both bold and refined. The use of brass detailing on the feet not only highlights the emphasis on craftsmanship of the period but also spotlights the materials that were popular during the Art Deco era. Furthermore, the rich, warm wood tones of the overlays on the armrests contrast beautifully with the light fabric, enhancing the balanced and sophisticated aesthetic. As these chairs show, Scandinavian furniture designers’ artistic approach was anchored by characteristic Art Deco refinement expressed through graceful forms and traditional materials. These chairs preserve the unique essence of a transformative period in the history of furniture design, embodying the minimalist yet luxurious spirit of the Art Deco era.

Danish Cabinetmaker Lounge Chair in Wool with Footstool, Denmark, circa 1940s
Located in Utrecht, NL
Danish Mid-Century Modern furniture reflected Scandinavian materials and craftsmanship and mixed them with a modern style, and the period from roughly 1940 through 1960 was a high point for Danish furniture makers. This set shows why. This particular chair silhouette has been popular since the 1930s, from around the time Flemming Lassen designed the overstuffed easy chair, the “Tired Man”, for The Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Competition in 1935. The curved and organic lines of the design create an elegant silhouette for both the chair and ottoman. The design of this chair is characterized by organic, curved shapes that create a cosy and welcoming sensation. Since the enveloping back forms the arms as well but doesn’t reach all the way to the beginning of the seat, the design is very open and appears light. The gentle lines are highlighted by the soft wool blend upholstery that uniquely covers the entire bodies of the chair and footstool, including the legs as well.
