About the Item
Pair of Sculptural Lounge Chairs by František Jirák for Tatra Nabytok, Czechoslovakia, 1950s
A striking and collectible pair of lounge chairs designed by František Jirák for Tatra Nabytok, produced in Czechoslovakia during the 1950s. These chairs exemplify the progressive spirit of mid-century Eastern European design, balancing bold, modernist geometry with organic craftsmanship.
The standout feature is the sculptural solid wood frame, particularly the dynamic, Z-shaped armrests—a hallmark of Jirák’s design language. The angular construction, splayed legs, and airy profile give these chairs a strong architectural presence from every angle.
The chairs retain their original red upholstery, which is structurally intact but shows age-appropriate wear. While charming in its vintage authenticity, we recommend reupholstering to meet modern comfort standards and to personalize the chairs to your interior. Their timeless form makes them an ideal canvas for updated fabric in wool, velvet, or leather.
František Jirák was a leading Czech modernist known for his expressive silhouettes and forward-thinking approach to functional seating. These lounge chairs are a rare example of his work for Tatra Nabytok, the renowned Czechoslovakian furniture manufacturer.
Whether restored or left in their current state, these chairs offer incredible character and form—ideal as statement pieces in a modern, eclectic, or collector’s space.
