A Pair of Lounge Chairs with Birch Overlays, Europe circa 1930s
About the Item
Art Deco, one of the most influential design movements of the early 20th century, reached its peak in the 1930s, merging elegance and modernity with a focus on both style and function. Art Deco became synonymous with bold geometric forms and visual richness, as it drew influence from previous movements like Cubism and Art Nouveau. Reflecting the need for escapism and innovation of the interwar era, Art Deco transformed furniture design with its streamlined shapes, luxurious materials, and attention to symmetry and detail.
This pair of armchairs perfectly captures the timeless elegance and modern sophistication of the era. Their squared backs highlights the precise geometry central to the Art Deco style, while gently curved arms soften the overall design, balancing structure with subtle fluidity. Upholstered in a beautiful off-white fabric, the chairs offer an understated luxurious look, combining versatility with a touch of inviting comfort, through the softness of the material. The standout feature of the pair is the birch wood overlay, which elegantly accents the curved armrests, bringing warmth and texture that beautifully complements the neutral upholstery. The warm tones of the wood compliment the body of the chair, creating visual appeal through the mix of textures and colours. This birch detailing flows seamlessly from the armrests into the legs, framing the chairs’ structured form and enhancing their clean, geometric appeal. Resting on sturdy wooden legs with smooth surfaces and squared edges, the design exemplifies Art Deco’s dedication to both sleek aesthetics and functional craftsmanship.
Ideal as a stylish addition to any modern interior, this pair of armchairs effortlessly combines sophistication with practicality. Combining the bold proportions of the body with intentional angularity, these chairs add a touch of iconic glamour and timeless design to any living space.

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...
