About the Item
Burov was established in 1948 as a French high-class furniture brand on the Rue Crozatier, the heart of the furniture district in Paris. Both a design house and furniture manufacturer, Burov relied on the in-house development and creation of all their pieces, becoming an iconic brand in Parisian design.
This pair of armchairs expresses the Modernist ethos, which left its mark on 20th century design and beyond, while also showcasing French quality and flair. This movement did not shy away from geometric forms, as well as interesting textures and material pairings - attributes that are visible in this pair of armchairs. The angular shape of the chairs is highlighted by the wooden frame which follows the edges, from the tops of the arms to the bottom of the legs, to create a harmonious look. The uniqueness of these pieces is also brought forth as a result of the pairing of the warm wood with the upholstered bodies in a striped fabric, allowing the shades of yellow and green to shine. The texture of the fabric adds another layer of visual dimension and interest. From the geometric shape, to the rich fabric and polish of the wood, this pair of armchairs embodies the charm that made the mid-20th century one of the most iconic design eras.
French elegance and quality craftsmanship come together to create this standout pair of chairs that are as aesthetically appealing as they are functional. Through their upholstered seat, back and arms, these chairs allow for the comfortable use that comes with the inevitable appreciation of quality design.

Pair of Wooden Armchairs with Upholstered Cushions, Europe 20th Century
Located in Utrecht, NL
With wedge and hammer, the chair-maker slowly creates shorter pieces to be worked into the seat, spindle, crest rail, and legs. This pair of wooden armchairs stands as a proud example of traditional design practice; their solid nail-free joints highlight the skill and artistry of its makers. This construction method enhances the armchairs’ structure and presents the reverence it deserves. This set borrows from great past examples, such as the Windsor chair or - more broadly - the spindle models widely used throughout Europe during the 20th century. These elements render this specific design truly timeless.
They are among the most recognisable models of mid-century chairs in Europe. The spindle chairs are a ubiquitous classic that does just as well in the living room, dining room or even the hall, drawing every eye to it. The proportions are well-thought-out, and the see-through design adds a simple and airy touch. Each chair of this set has fifteen symmetrically arranged wooden slim spindles that form the back and armrests. A continuous arm and bow-back frame the slim spindles, offering a seamless joint from the seat and the back. The legs splay outward and run into the seat, which is a single wood piece slightly inclined to assist a more comfortable seating experience combined with the custom-made cushion upholstered in premium bouclé fabric.
This model’s design is a classic that goes beyond trends, a product of a deep-rooted desire to showcase impeccable craftsmanship and a stylish aesthetic without compromising the quality of production or materials. This spindle chair set...
