Pair of Geometric Art Deco Armchairs, France first half of the 20th Century
-
Description
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, Art Deco furniture often features rich fabrics, polished finishes, and an overall sense of opulence, designed to elevate everyday spaces.
These armchairs reflect the defining characteristics of Art Deco with their sleek, rounded form and luxurious brown upholstery. The striking semi-circular armrests along with the angular, traditional body offer a sense of geometry and stability, while the smooth, velvet-like fabric adds an element of plush comfort. The rich brown colour highlights the pair’s sophistication, and the minimal, square legs in dark wood give the chairs a grounded feel that contrasts beautifully with the softness of the upholstery. The clean lines and geometric proportions balance the luxurious, soft texture of the fabric with the sturdiness of the frame, creating an object that is both sculptural and functional. These chairs exude the confident yet refined impression typical of the Art Deco style.
Perfect for those looking to add some vintage glamour to a space, these armchairs bring timeless allure to any room. The pair offers a perfect blend of style and comfort, with a design that endures through the ages while exemplifying Art Deco craftsmanship.
