About the Item
Architectural and highly sculptural wingback lounge chair produced in Prague, Czech Republic, circa 1920s–1930s, reflecting the bold structural language of Central European Art Deco with early modernist and brutalist undertones.
The chair is distinguished by its solid oak frame, characterized by thick, flowing armrests that function as both structural supports and visual anchors. The gently splayed legs and strong horizontal lines give the piece a grounded, architectural stance, while the high winged back and deep seat form a compact, enveloping volume. Emphasis is placed on mass, proportion, and material honesty rather than decoration, resulting in a design that reads as furniture and architecture simultaneously.
The craftsmanship is exemplary, showcasing the high quality of Czech woodworking from the interwar period, where traditional techniques were paired with progressive, forward-looking forms. The natural patina of the oak enhances the sculptural presence and highlights the organic curvature of the frame.
The chair retains its original upholstery, now showing visible wear, fading, and age-related patina. While the structure is solid and stable, reupholstery is advised and best executed by a local upholsterer to suit the intended interior. A new upholstery would significantly enhance the contrast between the soft upholstered volume and the robust oak structure, allowing the architectural qualities of the design to fully emerge.
This piece works exceptionally well as a statement chair in minimalist, brutalist, or contemporary interiors, as well as in curated Art Deco or modernist environments. Ideal for living rooms, reading corners, gallery-like spaces, or boutique hospitality projects where form, structure, and material presence are key.
