Pair of Upholstered Armchairs with Button Details, Europe Mid-20th Century

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
The firm focus on comfort and functionality set apart European seating models of the mid and late 20th century. This pair of armchairs is a prime example of this design philosophy: they remove unnecessary ornamentation in favour of quality craftsmanship. This design choice explains their timeless charm, versatility, and enduring appeal.

These armchairs are elegant and cosy to both look at and sit in, making them true to their mid-century modern heritage. The frames have a distinct, gently curved armrest forming a blooming outward movement on the side. This particular design element recalls Scandinavian modern seating design, especially the rounded shape of the sloping arms. The backs are lightly reclined for comfort and have stylish upholstered buttons arranged in two parallel lines. The upholstery has a rich golden colour and texture, providing a bold look that playfully highlights the vivid buttons. The chairs' solid wood legs offer gentle contrast to the textile; their conical shape provides a sense of stability and durability, while the back legs are tapered and slightly bent to ensure structural support for the body. The differing legs add visual interest to the design as well, breaking the otherwise perfectly symmetrical lines of the body.

The enduring tradition of meticulous design and master craftsmanship persisted well into the second half of the 20th century. Paired with premium materials, these armchairs are not just furniture but heirloom pieces that have proven their resilience to the changing times, both in terms of aesthetics and quality.
