When creating a space where purpose and quality factor just as high on the list of priorities as fashion and style, then mid-century modern furniture is the answer. These chairs are defined by functionality, longevity and cosy lines that are all in favour of the user, making this pair a true example of European mid-century design.

The subtle decorative qualities stemming from the early 20th century art movements and the simple lines deriving from the inter-war art movements give these chairs their visual appeal. The importance of the balance between functionality and aesthetics can be identified in the ergonomic structure elevated by the subtle decorative elements. The clever use of the upholstery’s texture and colour dictates the overall look. The rounded edges of the body -especially the outward curving armrests - pair very well with the rich blue colour of the fabric. The sculpted, wooden double bun feet in the front are the standout design elements next to the round backs and arms. The back legs are in a simpler, tapered shape to support the chairs’ stability, and the result adds even more visual interest to this pair. Quality craftsmanship was evidently of optimum importance for the cabinetmaker who created this pair.

These lounge chairs further illustrate how modernist design can be warm and cosy despite its reputation of often cold simplicity. The stylish blue upholstery highlights the beautiful stained wood legs and the elongated seat as well. With a classic look, storied design and solid quality, these chairs are truly soulful and timeless.
