A Pair of Lounge Chairs in Kelim Upholstery, Europe ca 1960s
About the Item
Rooted in the design principles of 1960s Europe, this pair of lounge chairs exemplifies the fusion of form and function that defined European interiors of the era. The period was marked by a return to natural materials, with designers exploring the beauty of wood, textiles, and organic forms. These chairs encapsulate this period, showcasing a harmonious balance between aesthetic restraint and warm inviting details. This pair of lounge chairs embrace clean lines and subtle elegance, while still celebrating craftsmanship and creativity.
The standout feature of these chairs is their vibrant kelim upholstery, a design which is associated with the Anatolian region of Turkey. This fabric choice adds a rich layer of texture and traditional charm to the pair. The woven fabric, with its geometric motifs and warm orange, red and earthy tones, offers a bold yet refined look that contrasts beautifully with the sleek look of the chairs. The fabric choice reflects the period’s growing appreciation of artisanal techniques, as well as the interest in blending global influences with modern design. Through the balance between the understated silhouette and daring pattern, this pair manages to avoid over-embellishment while maintaining its uniqueness. The tightly upholstered bodies further highlight the chairs' geometric structure, combining curves and clean lines while creating a sophisticated dynamic between pattern and silhouette. Furthermore, the lounge chairs rest on slim, tapered legs which serve as a durable element, while simultaneously maintaining the lightweight appearance. Wood, prized for its strength and rich, warm hues, was a preferred material of the era, admired for its ability to age gracefully.
These lounge chairs are timeless icons of a design movement that celebrated simplicity, global inter-connectedness, and the enduring beauty of natural materials. The chairs capture the essence of post-war European design—functional elegance made accessible for everyday living.
