Art Deco seating from the first half of the 20th century brought together strong geometry, rich materials and interesting forms. Upholstered armchairs were particularly suited to this approach, as their larger surfaces could be shaped into bold silhouettes and contrasted with decorative wooden elements. This pair combines dark green upholstery with sweeping walnut-veneered details, creating a design in which wood becomes as visually important as the upholstered body.
The armchairs have substantial, slightly inclined backrests, giving them generous and comfortable proportions. Each backrest is divided into three vertical upholstered sections with a softly scalloped upper edge, adding definition to the broad surface and drawing the eye upward. The dark green upholstery continues across the seats, backs and side panels, giving the bodies a consistent colour and texture. The walnut veneer provides a striking contrast and forms a distinctive feature of the design. Large curved sections run along either side of each chair, forming part of the armrests before continuing downward towards the floor. Their continuous rounded shape complements the upholstered sides and gives the chairs a strong profile from every angle. At the same time, the wood creates gaps in the size, balancing the strong volume of the upholstered sections. The reddish-brown tone and visible grain of the walnut stand out against the muted green fabric, while the polished surface catches the light along each curve. Finally, short rectangular wooden feet support the front of the seats, while the back one mirror the curve of the armrests, tying the look together.
What makes these armchairs particularly appealing is the way the walnut veneer transforms an upholstered chair into a much more individual Art Deco design. Used together in a living room, library or conversation area, they offer both comfortable seating and the rich material character associated with European furniture at its best.

Mid-century lighting design was shaped by a growing interest in balancing functionality with sleek, sculptural form. Brass became a favoured material throughout the period, valued for its warmth, durability, and ability to bring refinement to otherwise restrained forms. This ceiling lamp by Erco Leuchten is a timeless example of these characteristics.
Ceiling lamps in particular offered designers an opportunity to experiment with geometry and proportion, creating fixtures that could define a space while providing soft, atmospheric illumination. The fixture is composed of a broad, gently tapering shade, the softly curved profile creates an elegant silhouette against the ceiling. The fabric diffuses light evenly across the entire surface, concealing the light source while producing a warm and comfortable glow. The brass cage-like element completes the look, introducing a subtle decorative accent and a welcomed contrast to the smooth fabric. The transition between materials allows the brass to complement rather than dominate the composition. When illuminated, the shade appears almost weightless, floating beneath the ceiling while softly radiating light throughout the room. The restrained geometry and balanced proportions embody the calm sophistication that characterises the best examples of German mid-century design.
This light’s compact form makes it suitable for both residential and professional settings, especially in interiors that value clean looks and functional elegance. It demonstrates how Erco Leuchten valued thoughtful construction and material choice in order to elevate ceiling lamps into a lasting example of modernist design.

Italian Modern furniture is defined by unique design, precise execution and a strong relationship with Italy’s tradition of craftsmanship. This pair of “Bergamo” lounge chairs with matching ottomans by Paolo Buffa is a testament to the distinctive character of mid-century modernism in Italy. Buffa’s design language remains coherent with contemporary developments while retaining a clear connection to traditional furniture making, combining measured proportions, refined decorative details and carefully worked wooden structures.
This pair is focused on elegant proportions, balanced compositions and a rich interplay between geometric and flowing lines. The solid wooden frames are shaped with curved upper edges, slender tapered legs and open sides. The front legs rise effortlessly to form the sweeping armrests, creating a continuous line around the upholstered seats. Two crosses on each side introduce a sharper geometric rhythm, while the backs are formed from a sequence of slender vertical and diagonal wooden elements that give the chairs a striking open appearance both when viewed from behind and from the side. Thick upholstered seat cushions are paired with distinctive round back pillows, leaving much of the wooden back structure visible and enhancing the airy character of the design. The warm, light fabric contrasts with the darker wood and softens the architectural quality of the frames. Each chair is accompanied by a matching ottoman, constructed with the same tapered legs, shaped wooden frame and generously upholstered cushion. Placed together, the ottomans extend the composition of the chairs and reinforce the dialogue between solid upholstery and finely worked wood. The crossed panels, curved armrests, slender back elements and rounded cushions gives the set a dynamic appearance while retaining the elegance inherent in Buffa’s work.
Paolo Buffa was passionate about furniture and product design, an area in which he remained faithful to a figurative repertoire rooted in classicism while embracing impulses of modernity. He was highly active within the Milanese design scene, where traditional craftsmanship and modern ideas were continually brought into dialogue. The “Bergamo” chairs capture that combination particularly well, and the presence of their matching ottomans makes the pair especially complete, creating two inviting lounge settings with a strong decorative presence from every angle.

Alain Richard (1926–2017) was a French furniture and interior designer who graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in 1949, where he studied under René Gabriel. He established his own agency in 1952 and became part of a generation of French designers developing furniture for serial production during the post-war period. His work included furniture for Meubles TV and lighting for Disderot, alongside increasingly large interior and architectural projects. This model “704” armchair from the 1960s shows his interest in clean construction, contrasting materials, and furniture designed around clear functional elements.
Model “704” combines a compact upholstered seat and backrest with exposed wood and metal elements. The thick seat cushion has a rectangular shape with softly rounded corners, while the backrest is slightly inclined to provide a comfortable sitting position. The piece is upholstered in a textured olive-green fabric that gives the chair a warm, tactile appearance. The armrests feature padded horizontal sections that appear almost suspended on either side of the seat. A shaped wooden frame runs beneath the seat and continues upward behind the backrest, its warm tone contrasting with the upholstery. Dark screws remain visible along the side of the wooden seat rail, adding a small technical detail to the construction. Four slender metal legs are splayed outward beneath the body, countering the volume of the upholstered sections and giving the chair a light stance. The combination of upholstery, wood, and metal creates a clear separation between each part of the chair while keeping the overall composition balanced.
Richard received several important distinctions throughout his career, including the Prix René Gabriel in 1964, and this chair is proof of his talent. Its combination of French modernist design and a balanced mix of materials makes it an interesting addition to a living room, study or reading area, particularly for collectors of post-war French furniture.

Brutalist furniture of the second half of the 20th century often gave materials a dominant role, using simple, bold forms to emphasise their natural colour and texture. Stone was particularly effective within this approach, as its irregular surface could provide visual richness without additional decoration. This Posidonia slate coffee table follows that principle closely, with a low architectural form built almost entirely around the distinctive character of the stone.
The coffee table has a broad rectangular top supported by four rectangular legs positioned at its corners. Its construction is extremely clear, with the horizontal tabletop and vertical supports creating a simple geometric structure. Posidonia slate makes up the entire surface, giving the table a consistent material character. The stone has a deep dark tone with lighter areas scattered irregularly across the surface. These natural variations break up the large flat plane and ensures that no area of the table appears completely uniform. The top is particularly effective in constituting a focal point, as its generous uninterrupted surface provides a clear view of the slate's complex pattern. The low height further emphasises the horizontal shape, allowing the long stone top to remain the main focus from every angle. Coffee tables, in general, serve as design staples in living spaces for a multitude of reasons: beyond their utilitarian function of providing a surface for drinks and books, they anchor a room, creating a point around which furniture and conversation revolve.
The strength of this coffee table comes from the direct relationship between its simple construction and expressive stone. This piece represents a particularly striking example of the material-focused furniture associated with the era.
