About the Item
Mid-century modern design emerged in the years after World War II, it was shaped by a desire for clarity, optimism, and a new way of living. Designers favoured clean lines, honest materials, and balanced proportions. Wood, metal, glass, and new industrial techniques were used to create pieces that were functional yet warm. This pair of longhair easy chairs belongs to this period, when comfort and material presence were just as important as clean lines and practicality.
They have a relaxed stance, shaped by a simple form and a tactile surface that immediately draws the eye in. The chairs are generous in scale, with rounded backs and wide seats that feel welcoming for the sitter. What makes them stand out most is the longhair upholstery, which softens the entire silhouette and gives the pair a warm, inviting texture. The fur catches the light in shifting tones, adding depth without being overly dramatic, and it turns the chairs into pieces that feel almost alive in the space. Their shape is straightforward, built to support the body with a gentle curve along the sides that helps create a sense of enclosure. The wooden legs are modest and slightly tapered, balancing the design without distracting from the softness above. The overall effect is calm and comfortable, with enough character to make them stand out without overpowering a room.
Together, the chairs speak to a moment in design when quality materials and thoughtful proportions could elevate simple forms. They bring warmth, texture, and cosiness to an interior, offering seating that is both aesthetically pleasing and useful. Their mix of simplicity and softness is what makes them so enduring, and why pieces like these continue to resonate in contemporary spaces.

European Mid-Century Modern Upholstered Lounge Chairs, Europe, circa 1950s
Located in Utrecht, NL
Mid-Century Modern, a design movement devoted to timeless functionalism established itself in the post-war period with furniture that appealed to the senses. Furniture design was guided by the famous maxim: “Form follows function.”
For midcentury designers, materials were used for their own distinct; often a piece of furniture would combine only two materials or colours – creating tension and harmony without fuss or superfluous ornament and these fully upholstered lounge chairs are perfect examples of this sentiment. The duality of two materials and colour scheme create an elegant, self-supporting, and enticingly functional design. The combination of solid wood and high-quality upholstery is traditional in mid-century design for a good reason. The two materials complement each other by highlighting their unique material qualities. This pair falls into the category of the so-called biomorphic midcentury: furniture that relished in organic, curved, smooth surfaces, design that was moulded into the shapes of natural occurrences, and which was a lively contrast to the more austere machine aesthetic...
