Brutalist Seating

BRUTALIST STYLE

The design of brutalist furniture encompasses that which is crafted, hewn and worked by hand — an aesthetic rebuke (or, at least, a counterpoint) to furniture that is created using 21st-century materials and technology. Lately, the word “brutalist” has been adopted by the realms of furniture design and the decorative arts to refer to chairs, cabinets, tables and accessory pieces such as mirror frames and lighting that are made of rougher, deeply textured metals and other materials that are the visual and palpable antithesis of the sleek, smooth and suave. 

ORIGINS OF BRUTALIST FURNITURE DESIGN

CHARACTERISTICS OF BRUTALIST FURNITURE DESIGN 

  • Use of industrial materials — tubular steel, concrete, glass, granite
  • Prioritizes functionalism, minimalism and utilization of negative space
  • Spare silhouettes, pronounced geometric shapes
  • Stripped-down, natural look; rugged textures, modular construction
  • Interiors featuring airy visual flow and reliance on neutral palettes

BRUTALIST FURNITURE DESIGNERS TO KNOW

VINTAGE BRUTALIST FURNITURE ON 1STDIBS

The term brutalism — which derives from the French word brut, meaning “raw” — was coined by architecture critic Reyner Banham to describe an architectural style that emerged in the 1950s featuring monumental buildings, usually made of unornamented concrete, whose design was meant to project an air of strength and solidity.

Le Corbusier essentially created the brutalist style; its best-known iterations in the United States are the Whitney Museum of American Art, which was designed by Marcel Breuer, and Paul Rudolph's Yale Art and Architecture Building. The severe style might have been the most criticized architectural movement of the 20th century, even if it was an honest attempt to celebrate the beauty of raw material. But while the brutalist government buildings in Washington, D.C., seemingly bask in their un-beauty, brutalist interior design and decor is much more lyrical, at times taking on a whimsical, romantic quality that its exterior counterparts lack.

Paul Evans is Exhibit A for brutalist furniture design. His Sculpture Front cabinets laced with high-relief patinated steel mounts have become collector's items nonpareil, while the chairs, coffee table and dining table in his later Cityscape series and Sculpted Bronze series for Directional Furniture are perhaps the most expressive, attention-grabbing pieces in American modern design. Other exemplary brutalist designers are Silas Seandel, the idiosyncratic New York furniture designer and sculptor whose works in metal — in particular his tables — have a kind of brawny lyricism, and Curtis Jere, a nom-de-trade for the California team of Curtis Freiler and Jerry Fels, the bold makers of expressive scorched and sheared copper and brass mirror frames and wall-mounted sculptures.

Brutalist furniture and sculptures remain popular with interior designers and can lend unique, eccentric, human notes to an art and design collection in any home.

Extreme Rare Dutch Brutalist Solid Oak Table- Side Chair '50
Located in Boven Leeuwen, NL
Authentic Mid-Century Dutch Brutalist Oak Chair Step into the bold world of Brutalist design with this exceptional and rare oak chair from the 1950s. Crafted in the heart of the Netherlands, this piece stands as a testament to the robust and raw architectural movement that celebrates materials in their most unadorned form. Constructed with the strength and durability emblematic of Brutalist design, the chair's solid oak structure showcases a commanding presence. Its weighty, substantial form is balanced by the understated beauty of the wood's natural grain, which has been allowed to develop a deep, expressive patina over the decades. Upholstered with a fabric that features an understated floral motif, the chair offers an inviting texture contrast to the oak's ruggedness. This upholstery provides a touch of softness to the otherwise imposing structure, ensuring that comfort isn't sacrificed for the sake of style. A standout feature of this Brutalist chair is the cleverly integrated wooden side table. Practical and unpretentious, it epitomizes the functionalist ethos of the movement, making it an ideal spot for your books or drinks. This chair is more than a seating option—it's a statement. Ideal for collectors, designers, and aficionados of the Brutalist aesthetic, it promises to be a focal point in any contemporary or vintage-inspired interior. Don't miss the chance to incorporate this piece of Dutch Brutalist heritage into your collection. Contact us to acquire this bold, historic, and artful chair...
