Pair of Sculptural Bamboo Lounge Chairs, Europe Mid 20th Century

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
The mid-century modern movement, perhaps the most iconic design style of the 20th century, utilises organic materials and geometric shapes to deliver functional pieces of furniture. These iconic structural chairs, with their refined lines and architectural presence, are prime examples of the enduring appeal mid-century modernism.

Throughout the 20th century, bamboo enjoyed a few resurgences of popularity. Its ability to be both delicate and ornate, as well as bohemian and relaxed means that it fits into a range of interiors. These lounge chairs showcase a precision that was unachievable by methods of mass production, therefore they feature a charm and quality that only handcrafted pieces possess. Furthermore, the clever utilisation of the material’s natural attributes paired with the striking arrangement guarantee this pair to stand out. The geometric look is also a consequence of the material itself for the simple reason that bamboo does not bend. It is harder than mahogany, and cannot be curved. The rectangular frames are perfectly symmetrical joined by traditional techniques. The airy arrangement assures a light, stylish look. The chairs have been upholstered in a light, textured fabric, offering a fresh feel to the original design. The soft, cushioned seats and backs enhance comfort, while providing a clean contrast to the earthy bamboo frame.

This pair of lounge chairs combines elegance and modern aesthetics, resulting in a timeless look which is full of modern energy that will endure for generations. This is also thanks to their exceptional visual quality, and uncompromising level of craftsmanship. Each chair exudes a sense of relaxed elegance, bringing a touch of Italian sophistication and natural beauty to any living space.
