Enveloping Cabinetmaker Armchairs in Bouclé, Europe ca 1950s (sold)

$0.00

With an elegantly cosy appearance, these chairs are stylish examples of the soft, curved aesthetic side of mid-century modernism in Europe. Adopting the trend of abandoning ornamentation to benefit the form, the designer of this pair managed to maintain the beauty and warmth of this style of enveloping design.

This pair exudes quality and personality from all angles. Their classic shape is formed by the generous seats and embracing, enveloping backs. The large, curved backrests - that constitute the armrests as well - follow the curve of the voluptuous seats and slope downward gently. This creates an inviting and open look which is a signature characteristic of mid-century modernism. Thanks to the sinuous, large surfaces, the texture of the light bouclé fabric dominates the overall look of these armchairs. The short, stained wood legs prevent the chairs from looking heavy by slightly lifting them off the ground, while their warm brown colour nicely compliments the soft, light colour of the bodies. From the muted colour scheme to the material choices, and quality, these chairs exude the essential mid-century modern aesthetic. They are therefore perfect choices to add that cosy charm into any space.

Without any tufting or festooning, the focus here is on the round, flowing lines.  Thanks to the bold bouclé fabric, the chairs have a natural, textured look, making them ideal to blend a stroke of modernity to any space, with a nod to organic, simple artistry.
