Art Deco was an era-defining movement in furniture making. These chairs were created during an age of aesthetic creativity and instantly recognisable design. As these armchairs show, European furniture designers’ artistic approach was anchored by characteristic Art Deco refinement, expressed through graceful forms and traditional methods. Though Art Deco furniture took many different forms across Europe, shape, material and craftsmanship remained central to its character, with curved wooden structures providing some of the period’s most expressive seating designs.

This pair immediately catches the eye with its bold outline, defined by the pronounced curve of the wooden arms. The arms create a hollow form, allowing the beautiful upholstery to remain visible from the sides while further complementing the gentle curvature. Each arm sweeps forward before curving down and around the lower body of the chair, creating a continuous wooden structure that frames the upholstery. The walnut veneers beautiful grain and colour variation stand out thanks to the upholstery’s restrained, elegant beige colour. To keep the visual balance, the backs feature straighter lines, contrasting with the flowing shape of the side structures. The tightly upholstered seats and backs, while adding comfort and cosiness to the design, do not take attention away from the wood. The seats have softly rounded fronts, while the tall backrests are slightly inclined and finished with two subtle tufted buttons. The combination of upholstered bodies and open wooden sides creates a particularly effective contrast between volumes. The obvious quality of the craftsmanship complements the design through the choice of materials, techniques and well-thought-out details, with the continuous curves giving the chairs their distinctive streamlined appearance.

Created during an age of innovation in materials, shapes and techniques, these chairs showcase how European furniture designers coupled geometry and craftsmanship to create elegantly impressive additions to their interiors. Perfect for those looking to add some vintage character to a space, the pair can bring warmth and a distinctive presence to a living room or conversation area.
