Italian Art Deco Lounge Chairs in Petrol Mohair, Italy 1930s
-
Description
"There is no style like art deco that embraces both the figurative and the abstract, the feminine and the masculine, the monumenta, the stringent and the opulent, the functional and the unnecessary. Art deco is a seducer who, with his cool language, will generously enrich our lives with beauty".
This timeless pair of Italian Art Deco lounge chairs boasts a beautiful, almost sculptural form with generous curves that evokes the high-end craftsmanship of the movement that’s steeped in old-school luxury and glamour. Art Deco was characterized by sleekness, opulence, and geometry, often prioritizing rich, elegant colours and luxe fabrics. These characteristics are also seen in these lounge chairs, especially in the unique arms that define the dynamic. Each chair features a reclined oval back over a deep seat along with elegantly curved armrests. Visually, the arms and backs are united by the structure and the upholstery that creates appealing arches and angles. Interestingly, instead of traditional legs, the chairs stand on rectangular wooden bases with a beautiful grain and pattern. The thick seat cushions and gently bent backs further contribute to the comfort and cosiness. The dark-toned velour upholstery complements the structure’s individuality, and adds plenty of depth to the design.
These lounge chairs illustrate the perfect alliance of geometry and function combined with the luxurious look and materials of Art Deco. They exude the sophistication and opulence the style is beloved for, but thanks to their focus on a more streamlined look, they are ideal to complement a more modern interior as well.
