About the Item
The 20th century manufacturer Erton encapsulated what was the post-war transition into mid-century modernism through the creation of hundreds of beautiful models, such as this pair of lounge chairs. Established in France, Erton opened locations across the country’s hotspots for creative innovation, such as Paris, Lyon and Lille - the centres of industrial activity throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Known for their pursuit of functionality, comfort and elegance, Erton’s mid-century designs combine form and function to create a pleasant interior atmosphere. Through minimal ornamentation, their work brought the French company to the forefront of seating specialists, while turning their pieces into timeless icons of the era’s design.
Instead of the traditional wood and fabric combination that had been typical, this mid-century pair of lounge chairs benefited from the newly-available production techniques and materials which juxtaposes their soft fabric with metal legs. The chairs feature low-profile armrests, contributing to their sleek, streamlined form that prioritises openness. Upholstered in a striking black-and-white bouclé fabric, the chairs offer a visually appealing, rich and interesting texture that enhances their modernist aesthetic. The fabric adds both tactile interest and durability, making them as functional as they are beautiful. The gilded brass legs add an element of luxury, while maintaining the chair’s airy, unobtrusive presence through their thin, splayed shape. The shiny, honey-golden brass stands out against the neutral tone of the lounge chairs’ bodies. This combination of materials and proportions highlights the beauty of simplicity, while the metal detailing introduces a touch of subtle sophistication and refinement.
These chairs serve as an elegant focal point ideal for any contemporary or classic interior, through their versatile neutral tones which allow them to seamlessly complement a wide range of colour schemes and decor styles. From mid-century modern to more eclectic or transitional settings, this pair suits the atmosphere of a room while expressing the timeless nature of French modernism.
