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.

Important Paul Evans Studio Sculpted Bronze and Resin Sofa, Signed, 1971
Important Paul Evans Studio Sculpted Bronze and Resin Sofa, Signed, 1971

Important Paul Evans Studio Sculpted Bronze and Resin Sofa, Signed, 1971

By Paul Evans

Located in Culver City, CA

This sofa is strikingly gorgeous! A rare, one of one-- one of a kind sofa designed and executed by Paul Evans. This sofa features an almost sleigh like craftsman base that is very George Nakashima - esque, and is completely clad in Evans sculpted resin and bronze. The sofa has been upholstered in a fine, butter-creamy colored mohair and is not only easy on the eyes, but is incredibly comfortable. This piece is triple signed, featuring Paul Evans initials and date on the bottom of the sofa's shell, another Evans signature and date on the base of the sofa, and a G singed above for (George Fry). One of the most recognizable and important names in the American studio craft movement of the 1960's and 70's, Paul Evans was a groundbreaking pioneer in brutalism. Collaborating as well as sharing a showroom with Phillip Lloyd Powell until 1964 when Evans met the owner of Directional Furniture and created a line of 6 coffee tables to go into the Directional High Point, NC booth for the spring Market. As the story has been recounted by Dorsey Reading, the tables never even made it to the showroom floor. Evans soon found out the tables never even had the opportunity to be sold; obviously disappointed, the `owner of Directional, BG agreed to put the tables out on the showroom floor in New York City to placate Paul Evans. What happened can probably best be compared today with "going viral." The coffee tables started flying off the floor, and the orders came rolling in. This fervor led to Evans creating many designs with Directional in years long partnership-- with the very first series being the "Sculptured Metal" Collection which was publicized in 1968. This piece specifically was not a Directional piece. This piece was created in Paul Evans Studio and ended up being sold directly through the studio. This Sculpted Bronze and Resin sofa is an incredibly rare example of Paul Evans Sculpted bronze technique, which involves hand sculpting using an epoxy resin and coating in an atomized cold cast bronze. Paul Evans used to be labeled kind of a "bad boy" of design-- with an an affinity for sculpted brutalism and pieces that epitomize maximalism, his pieces were collected by rock stars, artists and creatives. Evans, now widely recognized as a pioneer in the American craft movement has solidified his place in design history and is highly collectable. This sofa would look excellent in any mid century modern, brutalist or even contemporary or boho chic environment. While brutalist in nature, this piece can be styled up or down to blend into almost any environment. We currently have this sofa in our gallery paired with a Jean Royere coffee table...

Set of Four Brutalist Chairs in Oak with Rush Seats, France, 1950s

Located in Kaštel Sućurac, HR

French workshop, set of four ladder back chairs, solid oak with rush seats, France, 1950s. The back posts are turned in a close bobbin sequence and finish in a plain ball at the top, and the same turning runs down the front legs and across the H stretchers, so the whole frame reads as one continuous rhythm. Two shaped horizontal rails cross the back, wide and lightly curved. The seats are woven in rush, laid in four triangles from the rails inward, and have taken on a warm straw colour. The oak is stained a deep brown with a matt finish. The seats sit high, which suits a table on the taller side or a kitchen counter. Bobbin turning with ball finials over a rush seat is the standing vocabulary of French country chair...

Siegfried Pütz, armchair from the artist’s private collection, around 1940

By Siegfried Pütz

Located in Saarbrücken, SL

The armchair was created between 1930 and 1945, when artist and designer Siegfried Pütz was banned from working during the Nazi regime. In 2001, a year before her death, Rose-Maria Pütz gave the armchair, along with a table and the drawing Kosmischer Rhythmus (Cosmic Rhythm, 1958, black chalk), to the artist Margaretha Küwen. The handover took place in connection with the book Siegfried Pütz – Sein Schaffen (Siegfried Pütz – His Work), signed by Rose-Maria Pütz, which she presented to Margaretha Küwen with a personal dedication. Margaretha Küwen and her husband Michael Kohr were closely connected to the Pütz family through their work at the Freie Kunst-Studienstätte Ottersberg (Ottersberg Free Art Study Centre). Rose-Maria Pütz had already written the foreword to Küwen’s book Heilendes Malen (Healing Painting) in 1998. In January 2026, the armchair was acquired by Katharina Schütte, Margaretha Küwen’s daughter. The drawing Cosmic Rhythm remains in her possession. The armchair is made of ash wood, a material often used in the context of anthroposophical furniture...
