About the Item

The mid-20th century marked a golden era for interior design, amidst a booming economy and a newfound sense of optimism. Designers sought to create furniture that felt both modern and human, moving away from the stark metal and glass of the machine age toward objects that could bring warmth and comfort to domestic life. This cultural moment celebrated furniture not just as a utilitarian object, but as a meaningful presence in the home. This pair of lounge chairs is a striking embodiment of that philosophy. Each chair features a solid wood frame with strong, sculptural lines. The X-shaped side-supports lend both structural stability and visual lightness, while highlighting the craftsmanship of this pair. Not only this, but the precise joinery and the gently splayed back legs which transition seamlessly into the armrests give the chairs a sense of balance and quiet confidence. Their seats and backs are upholstered in thick, natural sheepskin, a material prized for its softness, warmth, and inviting tactile quality. The creamy, textural surface of the upholstery contrasts beautifully with the robust wooden frame, highlighting the inherent character of both materials. They show how mid century designers achieved harmony between simplicity and luxury, function and expression. Together, these chairs offer more than just a place to sit; they express the postwar European shift toward modern living. With their natural materials and inviting form, they feel as relevant and desirable today as when they were first made, all while reflecting an ideal blend of sculptural beauty, masterful craftsmanship, and timeless comfort.

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. This spindle chair set...
