About the Item
In Europe, Mid-Century Modern design is a remarkable combination of concern for comfort and materiality melded with a desire for Shaker-like clarity. As these chairs show, the aesthetic was all about an exciting collision of sensuality, usually evidenced in the materials, with the discipline of the design.
This pair of easy chairs showcases these characteristics, as well as the desire to keep functionality and comfort at the core of the design. Armchairs in particular are expected to provide a design and level of comfort that assures outmost comfort and aesthetic pleasure. This is achieved by the precise proportions, functional elements and materials that guarantee the coveted experience. The flamboyant look is the result of the brilliant pairing of materials. The solid wood structures’ smooth lines stand out against the textural, organic shearling while also accentuating the individuality of the upholstery. The soft fibres of the lightweight, feathery Mongolian shearling drape beautifully over these armchairs, while the elegant light colour highlights the dark wooden frames. The desire to keep functionality and comfort at the core of the design is visible, especially in the gently tilted back and the short, tapered legs. The armrests have a peculiar shape, with perfectly sculpted curves to accommodate the sitter.
Mid-century European designers focused on the aesthetics of modern design whilst employing the exquisite technique and Material familiarity of highly skilled craftsmen such as cabinetmakers. These armchairs in many ways transcend the word ‘modern’, as they preserve the value and beauty of master craftsmanship and exquisite materials making them timeless, unique additions to any space.
