About the Item

In mid-century furniture design, the marriage of organic materials and the brutalist style found its apotheosis in pieces such as this set of six chairs. These chairs, each a testament to the craftsmanship of the era, stand as paragons of brutalist design with their solid wood frames and woven rush seats. The chairs' frames, hewn from robust wood, exhibit the raw, unapologetic aesthetic characteristic of Brutalism. The distinctive backs, composed of two meticulously carved pieces of wood, the upper ones define the design impression with their distinctive shape, evoking a sense of understated style. The leg stretchers, with their mortise and tenon joinery, showcase the era's commitment to sturdy construction and artisanal precision. Brutalism in mid-century furniture design was favoured for its bold departure from the ornate and intricate styles of the past. It embraced the intrinsic nature of materials, celebrating their authenticity rather than disguising or embellishing them. This approach resonated with the desire for honesty and simplicity, reflecting the broader architectural and design ethos of the time. The rush seats, a hallmark of practicality and comfort, add an additional layer of tactile warmth to these six chairs. The intertwining rush fibres create a resilient and breathable surface, offering a comfortable seating experience. This choice of material not only aligns with the organic principles of brutalism but also contributes to the chairs' overall durability, ensuring longevity in both form and function. Additionally, the textured surface of the woven rush contrast nicely with the smooth wood, resulting in an attention grabbing look. The beauty of craftsmanship is evident in every detail of these chairs. The mortise and tenon joinery, a technique requiring skilful precision, not only enhances the chairs' structural integrity but also becomes a visual evidence of the artisan's mastery. The resulting union of form and function exemplifies the ethos of mid-century design, where beauty and utility managed to coalesce seamlessly. When these chairs are arranged in proximity, their organic aesthetic is heightened. The repetition of the distinctive backs creates a rhythmic visual harmony, and the shared design elements forge a sense of unity. The solid wood frames, coupled with the earthy tones of the rush seats, fosters an atmosphere that is both inviting and grounded. Condition: In good vintage condition. The rush and wood have a nice patina with some marks and scratches. Dimensions: 21.45 in W x 20.66 in D x 36.61 in H; Seat height 18.11 in 54.5 cm W x 52.5 cm D x 93 cm H; Seat height 46 cm
