Pair of Upholstered Space Age Swivel Chairs, Germany 1970s
About the Item
The design philosophy of the 1970s in Germany was often focused on functionality and ergonomics, but with a playful twist. There was a tendency to mix and match styles and materials, resulting in eclectic and sometimes whimsical pieces, like this pair of fully upholstered swivel chairs. The designs were often modular and adaptable, catering to the dynamic lifestyles of the time.
German designers were influenced by the broader contemporary European trends, including the Danish and Italian modernist movements. There was also a strong influence from the avant-garde and the counterculture movements, which encouraged experimentation and the breaking of traditional design norms. This striking pair of swivel chairs epitomizes the bold and innovative design ethos of the era. With their distinctive, futuristic shape and dynamic form, it is also evident that these chairs reflect the 20th century's fascination with modernism. The original design features a swivel base that allows for smooth, fluid movement, while the cushioned seats and rounded backrests offer both comfort and visual intrigue. These chairs belong to the Space Age design era, a unique style that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s. It features futuristic aesthetics that are both practical and visually appealing. The use of geometric shapes and sleek lines characterize the style, and the blending of these elements creates an otherworldly atmosphere that is both trendy and functional, as this pair showcases.
With their bold geometry and exceptional craftsmanship, these Space Age swivel chairs are a testament to 1970s German design and a perfect addition for those seeking to infuse their interiors with a touch of vintage futuristic style. Whether used as standout accent pieces or as functional seating in a modern setting, they promise to be a lasting symbol of mid-20th century design innovation.
