Mid-Century Modern Armchairs, Europe 20th Century

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
In the midst of the swinging 1960s a remarkable design style emerged, a kind of mature mid-century modernism that captivated the essence of the era's design trends. These lounge chairs, mixing classic materials and shapes, remain exemplary representations of the innovative European furniture design that characterized the period.

European designers sought to break away from the traditional and embrace bold, cosy shapes. These lounge chairs are no exception. Their stylish form is characterized by open, inviting lines, and soft, round edges. This design approach emphasized comfort and relaxation, a response to the desire for a more laid-back lifestyle and a rejection of the stiffness of earlier decades.

The dark wood legs add a touch of sophistication and warmth to the chairs. What makes these legs particularly noteworthy is their functionality: gently splayed, they not only contribute to the chairs' stability but also provide stark visual contrast to the soft, textured upholstery. The combination of solid wood and high-quality upholstery is traditional in mid-century design for a good reason. The two materials complement each other by highlighting their unique material qualities.

The designer of these chairs has evidently had a clear design idiom and guiding principles: function, durability, timeless design, and perhaps above all, comfort. This traditional yet playful pair combines all of these characteristics, which makes it ideal to be the focal point of any space.
