Pair of Upholstered Cocktail Lounge Chairs, Europe 20th Century

About the Item

This stunning pair of cocktail lounge chairs revolves around the use of high-quality materials, comfort, and the mastery of the era’s European cabinetmakers. The open design is focused on the aesthetics of modernism, whilst employing the exquisite technique and material familiarity of highly skilled craftsmen. These chairs in many ways transcend the word ‘modern’, thanks to their timeless look. Cocktail chairs first emerged in the 1950s, with a distinct style of thick seats, a somewhat cupped back, and dainty pointed legs that jut out at an angle. This pair embodies all of these characteristics beautifully. Mid-century modern design has a penchant for soft curves and organic forms, and these chairs are no exception. The preference for such design elements arises from their ability to soften the lines of a room, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. As it can be expected from European mid-century pieces, the unity of functionality and comfort are still kept at the core of the design. This is especially evident in the enveloping backs and the pointed legs. The solid wood legs’ rich colour and grain further highlight the rust-coloured upholstery, creating a balanced look. Thanks to its visual qualities, this pair of infinitely cosy cocktail chairs can break the restrained aesthetic of any minimalist space. The flowing lines and gentle curves of these chairs offer a pleasing contrast to the clean lines and angular shapes often associated with mid-century modern interiors. They seamlessly integrate into a variety of design schemes, enhancing the overall aesthetic and imbuing the space with a touch of timeless elegance. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. These chairs have been reupholstered recently in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.

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...
