Wooden Armchair in the manner of André Arbus, Europe First half of the 20th C

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, furniture from this period often features rich fabrics, polished finishes, and an overall sense of opulence, designed to elevate everyday spaces.

This armchair is in made the manner of André Arbus - one of the most influential Art Deco designers in the first half of the twentieth century. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the geometrically inspired frame is made from rich, dark wood that exudes opulence. The armrests are beautifully constructed in a streamline moderne manner, highlighting the design prowess of the maker. Since the arms are hollow, the upholstery is visible from the sides as well, further complementing the gentle curvature. The wood’s beautiful grain and colour variation stands out thanks to the upholstery’s textured fabric and elegant colour. The tightly upholstered seat and back - while adding plenty of comfort and cosiness to the design - don’t take the attention away from the wooden structure.

Art Deco is a modern art style that attempts to infuse functional objects, such as this chair, with artistic touches. The movement is different from the fine arts as the art object has practical purpose or use beyond providing an interesting look. With this ideal in mind, this armchair model provides not only visual pleasure, but also great sitting comfort and functionality.
