Pair of Easy Chairs in Grey Longhair, Europe Mid-20th Century

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
European designers led the way in furniture innovation and style during the mid-century period. They combined traditional craftsmanship, minimalist design and the highest quality materials with the inspiration brought on by new industrial technologies. While modernism was often associated with clean lines and restraint, there was a parallel desire to explore comfort as an aesthetic in itself.

This pair of easy chairs in grey longhair exemplifies that instinct toward intimate relaxation. During this period, designers began embracing natural materials like sheepskin not only for warmth but for texture, allowing furniture to carry a tactile presence within a room. Upholstered in luxurious longhair, the chairs invite relaxation. Longhair is the ultimate material for comfort, warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The thick material cascades over the frames, obscuring structure in favour of tactility. From every angle, the surface shifts with light and movement, enhancing the organic character of the material. The rounded backs flow seamlessly into deep seats, while the whole structure rests on low wooden feet just visible beneath the fur, maintaining balance and stability.

This pair of chairs is perfectly suited for a vintage or contemporary interior, it represents a marriage of artistry and comfort. The upholstery captures attention, adding warmth and vibrancy to any space, while the wooden accents are grounding, together making this pair an ideal statement piece.
