Set of Six Dining Chairs Upholstered in Sheepskin, Europe ca 1960s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
This set of six dining chairs from Europe reflects the post-war desire to bring warmth, comfort, and handcrafted detail into everyday interiors. The set rejects austerity while embracing the value of natural materials and tactile elements while seamlessly blending form and function with organic honesty.

The use of luxurious sheepskin upholstery speaks to the era’s renewed appreciation for natural textures and artisanal softness, transforming dining chairs from functional necessities into cosy, elegant invitations to linger. The sheepskin’s richness enhances both visual and sensory appeal, its natural warmth and variation creating a focal point providing comfort. Each chair features graceful, solid wooden frames that offer sturdy support for the upholstered cushions, while maintaining a refined profile. The set’s durability is ensured by the multiple stretchers placed between the legs of the chairs. These stretchers give the chairs’ silhouette a more angular impression, perfectly balanced by the soft look of the fabric. Together, the contrast between the tactile softness of the upholstery and the smooth solidity of the wood creates a harmonious dialogue of form and texture.

This set is equally at home in a modern or eclectic interior, offering enduring elegance and comfort. The combination of craftsmanship, natural materials, and timeless proportions makes them a standout set to balance any table.
