  • Description
    Brutalism was favoured within mid-century European design for its bold departure from the ornate and intricate styles of the past. It embraced the intrinsic nature of materials, celebrating their authenticity rather than disguising or embellishing them. This approach resonated with the desire for honesty and simplicity, reflecting the broader architectural and design ethos of the time. Thanks to clean-lined furnishings, earth-tone colour palettes, and little ornamentation, the brutalist design style enjoys worldwide recognition to this day.

    Through the marriage of organic materials, Brutalism found its apotheosis in furniture like this set of six chairs. These chairs exude tranquillity through their stylish yet understated shape. The bodies, made from robust wood exhibit the raw, unapologetic aesthetic characteristic of the movement. There is a reason behind wooden furniture’s timeless popularity: it is a material that never goes out of style, it is durable, sturdy, versatile, and visually appealing. This choice of material not only aligns with the organic principles of Brutalism, but it also contributes to the chairs' overall longevity in both form and function. The distinctive backs are composed of carved slats of wood, with the upper slat featuring a keyhole detail, and the lower one ensuring extra support for the sitter. These elements define the design with their organic shape, evoking a sense of playful charm. The chairs’ proportions are harmonious, with high backs that widen towards the top, and mirroring splayed legs connected by stretchers. The beauty of craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this set. The resulting union of form and function exemplifies the marriage of beauty and useful design.

    Brutalist style has earned a permanent spot on the décor trend list through its unique impression, organic colours and natural materials. In the 21st century brutalist furniture design has been making a comeback, making 20th century pieces like these chairs rare and valuable pieces of the movement.
