Geometric Armchair with Orange Upholstery, Europe First half of the 20th Century

The Art Deco movement, which emerged in the early 20th century, is known for its bold geometric shapes, luxurious materials, and an emphasis on streamlined forms. Art Deco came as a reaction against the flowing organic lines of Art Nouveau, thus opting for symmetry, order, and elegance. Influenced by modernity and industrialisation, furniture from this design era often features rich fabrics, polished finishes, and an overall sense of opulence, designed to elevate everyday spaces.

This armchair reflects the defining characteristics of Art Deco with its sleek geometric form. The curving armrests, which showcase the skilfully shaped and polished wooden overlays, flow gracefully into the generous backrest and seat, emphasizing their fluidity. The sumptuous burnt orange mohair upholstery brings a deep, velvety texture that enhances the chair’s inviting character while adding a dramatic touch of colour to any interior. The mohair also enhances the tactile appeal, its surface catching light and representing one of the only decorations of the pair, while also ensuring a deep sense of comfort. In true Art Deco fashion, well-thought-out details offer glamorous touches to the chair, as can be seen from the carved details on the front legs and armrests.

This armchair illustrates the perfect marriage of geometry and function combined with expert craftsmanship. Perfectly suited for a vintage or contemporary interior, the model combines artistry and comfort, and is sure to become the focal point of any space.
