Upholstered Lounge Chair with Ottoman, Europe 20th Century

About the Item

European furniture from the 20th century revolutionised the history of what we consider modern design today. Lounge chairs in particular have become unrivaled references in it. The curved and organic lines of this design create an elegant silhouette for both the chair and ottoman. The chair features a sleek, minimalist profile with no arms, allowing for freedom of movement and a clean, open aesthetic. The interesting shape of the backrest and the soft, padded seat provide exceptional support, while the matching ottoman enhances relaxation, offering a comfortable footrest. Not to be confused with a footstool, as one common distinction between ottomans and footstools today is that ottomans may be designed as a matching counterpart to an existing chair or sofa, where as a footstool always an independently designed piece. Upholstered in a rich green fabric, the chair and ottoman exudes sophistication and craftsmanship typical of mid-century European furniture. The chair's wooden base is crafted from dark-stained wood, adding a classic contrast to the fabric while lending the piece a sturdy, refined silhouette. The ottoman’s base features an additional contrast of dark stained wood and lighter stained wood. This combination wasn’t just for aesthetic purposes—it also reflected a growing interest in contrasts between natural materials and the design-forward approach of the period. The timeless design truly reflects the quality of European craftsmanship from the 20th century, a period known for its refinement and enduring aesthetic appeal. A true representation of 20th-century European design, this lounge chair reflects the period's focus on practicality combined with artistic refinement. Ideal for both formal and casual settings, this chair and ottoman provide a perfect balance of elegance and comfort, making them an excellent addition to any interior setting.

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...
