About the Item

In most mid-century European design, there was an early emphasis on wood. It connected everyday objects, such as furniture to nature and as it was an easily accessible material. This pair of rustic, solid wood armchairs is a perfect example of this sentiment, and the visual benefits of an understated, organic design. The natural texture of the wood adds to the chairs’ robust character. The base is a marvel of fine detailing, showcasing impeccable joinery underscoring the artisan's dedication to craftsmanship. In rustic pieces like this pair, the wood is not overworked, its raw surface and edges are kept to show off the beautiful grain and texture, serving the purpose of showing the beauty of natural material and it’s endless possibilities. The wood has aged beautifully and displays a lovely grain pattern. These chairs feature a startling rawness, but with their warm-toned, carved bodies, the pair is greatly-balanced. The cushions are upholstered in a stunning light brown fabric, inviting the sitter to have a complex experience, between the sturdiness of the wood structure and the softness of the upholstery. The combination of materials and finishes results in visually appealing pieces while adding warmth and comfort to the overall design. The dualism within these chairs is amazing: the chairs can fulfill their functional purpose in an interior while also achieving their aesthetic role. Furthermore, the metal elements that frame the sides are reminiscent of industrial design, celebrating the rawness and mechanical ingenuity of the mid-20th century in its whole. Defined by clean, smooth lines, and excellent joinery, these chairs were created by an exceptionally skilled craftsman who made sure the pair was durable, stable and functional, while their expertise and use of high-quality materials made each piece a beautiful design heirloom. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chairs have been recently reupholstered in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be reupholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information.

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.
