About the Item
Pair of Re-Upholstered Bentwood Armchairs by Karel Koželka & Antonín Kropáček, Czechia, 1940s
A refined pair of bentwood armchairs designed by Czech Modernist pioneers Karel Koželka and Antonín Kropáček, originally produced in Czechoslovakia during the 1940s. These iconic chairs embody the elegance and ingenuity of early 20th-century European design, characterized by their sculptural lines and organic form.
The frames, crafted from steam-bent beechwood, showcase the designers’ mastery in manipulating natural materials into flowing, ergonomic structures. The arms, formed in a continuous arc, lend a distinctive silhouette that is both bold and inviting. Resting on solid legs, the chairs balance robust construction with a sense of lightness and mobility.
Newly re-upholstered in a rich red fabric, the chairs offer a contemporary touch while respecting their historical essence. The fabric is tightly tailored, accentuating the crisp lines of the seat and backrest while providing plush, supportive comfort. The vibrant color adds warmth and makes the pair a striking focal point in any interior.
With proportions designed for lounge seating, these chairs provide a deep seat and a gently reclined back—ideal for both relaxation and conversation. Each detail, from the gentle curve of the arms to the subtle taper of the legs, reflects the Bauhaus and Functionalist influences that permeated Koželka and Kropáček's work.
These pieces are not only aesthetically pleasing but also a testament to quality and durability, suitable for collectors and design enthusiasts alike. A timeless addition to both vintage and modern settings, they represent a perfect blend of form and function.
