About the Item
Low-Slung French Art Deco Lounge Chairs in Sculptural Bentwood, 1930s
This rare pair of lounge chairs embodies the refined craftsmanship and sculptural elegance of French Art Deco design from the 1930s. Acquired from a private estate in France, the chairs feature a striking silhouette defined by sweeping curves and looped armrests, masterfully crafted from bent laminated wood. Their flowing lines and architectural form create a sense of movement and harmony that captures the essence of interwar modernist aesthetics.
The generously curved frames support a pair of suspended seats and tilted backrests, newly reupholstered in a rich mustard yellow textile with crisp white piping along the outer edges. The combination of natural wood grain and soft upholstery adds warmth and visual contrast, while the cantilevered structure provides a surprisingly relaxed and ergonomic seating experience.
Notably, these chairs offer a deeply reclined, low-slung seating position — laid back and lounge-oriented, ideal for relaxed environments. This quality enhances their sculptural presence and reinforces their function as statement pieces for thoughtful, leisurely spaces.
These chairs reflect the French approach to modernism—functional yet elegant, architectural yet inviting. Unlike the heavier lines often found in Bauhaus or Brutalist seating, this design prioritizes lightness, grace, and artisanal quality. The craftsmanship is evident in every curve and joint, making these chairs not only comfortable but also sculptural objects in their own right.
Ideal for a stylish reading nook, modern living room, or design-forward lounge, this pair will add timeless sophistication to a wide range of interiors. Whether placed as accent pieces or symmetrically in a minimalist setting, they command attention without overwhelming their surroundings.
France, circa 1930s. Sold as a pair.
