The Art Deco movement - emerging in the 1920s and reaching its peak in the 1930s - celebrated elegance, luxury, and meticulous craftsmanship, while forever leaving its mark on design history. Known for its bold geometric patterns, streamlined forms, and high-quality materials, Art Deco design drew influence from industrial innovation and the glamour of the Jazz Age. Pieces from this period often exhibit clean lines, rounded edges, and richly textured fabrics that invite touch and appreciation. These characteristics perfectly fall in line with the design of the club chair, originally named the “fauteuil confortable" (comfortable armchair).
Club chairs, often recognised by their deep, rounded backs and wide armrests, originated in French men’s clubs in the early 20th century. They were created for cosiness and relaxation, typically featuring full-body upholstery and sturdy frames that allowed club members to enjoy sitting for extended periods of time. This Art Deco club chair reflects its rich history by embodying the the opulence and artistry of its design movement, while simultaneously pursuing comfort. The piece stands out through its dark blue mohair fabric, and distinct rounded shape. The chair’s sweeping backrest and generously curved armrests give it an invitingly sculptural presence, with its clean lines being striking from all angles. The plump silhouette is emphasised by its rich colour and texture, exuding an effortless sense of luxury. To complement the look, the plush mohair used for the upholstery adds a tactile richness and warmth that stays true to the Art Deco commitment to durability and high-quality materials. The short legs complete the piece with a wooden touch, balancing the dominating shape of the body.
Perfect for those who value style and quality, this armchair brings a bold, timeless charm to any room. The club chair’s blend of historical influence and modern appeal make it suitable for a variety of interiors, whether you’re aiming for vintage glamour or modern refinement. With its silhouette and rich, versatile colour, this piece combines style and comfort to infuse a space with Art Deco elegance.
