Mid-Century Modern Armchairs with Green Upholstery, Europe 1950s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Some exceptional seating pieces emerged during the 1950s, embodying elegant elements of the past and making use of decorative features. With their distinctive scallop backrest, these lounge chairs exude the era's spirit and remain stylish examples of a time period where influential design models left a significant mark.

The most striking aspect of these chairs is their characteristic backrest, which adds a luxurious touch and flair reminiscent of early 20th-century Art Deco club chairs. With their symmetrical, curved lines, these backrests were hallmarks of 1920s and 1930s furniture design, epitomising the period's aesthetic. Greatly inspired by those forms, some later examples - such as this pair - showcase that same flair with a modern touch. The large, enveloping backrest dictates the shape of these chairs, as it visually forms most of the structure resulting in a beautiful rounded profile. The chairs, with their fully upholstered bodies, embrace the ruling principle of luxurious comfort without sacrificing style. The rich textural green upholstery and multicoloured, curly strands add a tactile dimension to the design, enhancing comfort. The chairs' solid wood legs provide gentle contrast to the textile, while providing a sense of stability and durability, ensuring that this pair will keep standing the test of time.

With their scalloped backs, symmetrical curves, green upholstery, and rich texture, this pair represents some of the best qualities of Art Deco-inspired designs from mid-century Europe. They capture the essence of an era marked by luxury, sophistication, and a celebration of form and function.
