Mid-Century Modern Armchair Upholstered in Bouclé Fabric, Europe 20th Century

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
This armchair is elegant and comfortable evidence of the mastery and artistry of the European cabinetmakers who defined mid-20th century modern seating. This chair is of the highest quality, both in terms of visual appeal, materials, and craftsmanship. Mid-century modern is notable for its blending of classic modern design with a slightly more updated feel. This armchair has a clean, comfortable style that is a prime example of the best qualities of mid-century modernism.

European furniture from the mid-20th century revolutionised the history of what we consider modern design today. Armchairs in particular have become unrivalled reference points in mid-century modern design. Cabinetmaker armchairs may seem similar at first sight, however, each model’s individuality becomes evident upon closer inspection. In this chair’s case, its sheer volume and welcoming shape stand out immediately. The synthesis that this chair has achieved between form and function is outstanding, aesthetics and utility coming together in a uniquely mid-century manner. The fully-upholstered wooden frame rests on dark wood legs, with brass caps on the front legs. Tapered, slightly splayed back legs support the chair, and provide visual contrast to the light upholstery. The focus is on the round, flowing lines of the body and its premium upholstery. The exceptionally textured bouclé fabric highlights the frame’s rounded edges, especially its voluminous arm- and backrest.

From every single angle, this armchair offers a stunning silhouette and rich texture. Above all, European designers believed that design could certainly be used to improve people's lives. This sentiment can be traced in the exquisite materials, the impeccable craftsmanship, and in the elegantly curved and rounded edges.
