This pair of armchairs is rooted in the European Art Deco movement. It was a period defined by confidence, structure, and a belief in modern luxury. Art Deco design emerged between the wars as a response to earlier ornament-heavy styles, favouring clarity of form, strong geometry, and refined materials. Furniture from this era often balanced comfort with a distinctly architectural presence, drawing inspiration from both classical proportion and the clean lines of modern industry. This chair reflects that mindset perfectly, presenting a strong and confident silhouette that feels intentional rather than decorative.

The form of the pair is solid and grounded, built within a strong wooden frame that gives the piece its architectural weight. The arms are outlined by smooth and sharply defined wood, creating a sense of enclosure that feels both protective and confident, while the backrests soften the geometry and add comfort. The rich beige colour of the upholstery highlights the chairs’ sophistication, and the minimal, carved legs in dark wood give the model a grounded feel that contrasts beautifully with the softness of the upholstery. The clean lines and geometric proportions balance the luxurious, soft texture of the fabric with the sturdiness of the frame, creating an object that is both sculptural and functional. This pair of armchairs exudes the confident yet refined impression typical of the Art Deco style.

Perfect for those looking to add some vintage glamour to a space, these pieces will bring timeless allure to any room. The design offers a perfect blend of style and comfort, which will endure through the ages while exemplifying Art Deco craftsmanship.

The “Laila” model by the Finnish designer, Ilmari Lappalainen, originates from 1948, with the earliest original drawings kept in the Lahti City Museum in their Lappalainen Collection.

This pair of armchairs are from the Finnish designer’s most famous series called “Laila”. The design became sought after by collectors even in its production time, which is quite rare in the case of Nordic mid-century modern furniture. Lappalainen was a renowned designer, famous for his designs’ comfort. Some of his designs even received medical approval because they had such a good seating, that it prevented back problems. These armchairs have a cosy modern style, modelled on the Swedish and Danish furniture of the time, including the round edges and generous seat cushions and back with five tufted buttons. The bodies have the classic Nordic look, which explains the contemporary popularity of these armchairs both among the public and museums. The modern aesthetic is further elevated by the soft sheepskin upholstery that complements the shape and the wooden, tapered legs as well.

Wood is omnipresent in the Nordics, and Finnish woodworking is world-famous for its traditions. These chairs were created for Asko, the Finnish furniture manufacturing company founded in 1918 by Aukusti Asko Avonius, known for the production of high-quality furniture. By 1930, the company had developed into the largest furniture chain in Finland and the largest supplier of furniture in the Scandinavian countries. Favourites of this time included Ilmari Lappalainen’s present Laila armchairs.

This pair of armchairs is designed in the manner of Charles Dudouyt, one of the most distinctive figures in French decorative arts of the interwar period. Dudouyt’s work is often celebrated for its rustic charm, and masterful handling of wood, bridging tradition with the evolving aesthetics of Art Deco and modern design.

Impressive in its simplicity, this pair carries with it the beloved modernist characteristics of simplicity and functionality yet shows the rustic side of European design of the era. The chairs feature sturdy wooden frames with a rich, dark finish that accentuates the natural grain and depth of the wood. The meticulous craftsmanship of the wood’s joinery further enhances the chairs' allure; impeccably constructed with no visible screws, the seamless connections speak volumes about the artisan's dedication to precision and quality. The absence of visible hardware not only contributes to the chairs' aesthetic purity but also underscores the skilled craftsmanship that went into their creation. The grounded stance gives the chairs a quiet strength, while the broad seats invite relaxed, informal lounging. Upholstered in a textured beige fabric, the cushions pair a tactile, inviting surface with the clean lines of the wood and wicker base, achieving a compelling balance between warmth and restraint. The combination of materials and finishes results in visually appealing pieces while adding warmth and comfort to the overall design. The dualism within these chairs is amazing: they can fulfill their functional purpose in an interior while also achieving their aesthetic role. 

The essence of early 20th century French design is beautifully captured by this pair of armchairs. Functional yet sculptural, rustic yet refined, they stand as enduring testaments of the striking balance only master woodworkers are able to create.

During its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance and faith in social and technological progress. The movement peaked in popularity around the 1930s, spreading across Europe and the United States up to the start of World War II. Art Deco designs featured rare, expensive, innovative materials and exquisite craftsmanship.

In line with the Art Deco movement during which they were created, these chairs illustrate the bold, rich and luxurious aesthetic of the era. Before giving way to mid-century modernism and its focus on function over form, Art Deco pieces coupled geometry and craftsmanship to arrive at elegantly impressive additions to interiors. This pair of armchairs live up to their rich history through their strikingly geometric form. Both the backs and the armrests introduce clear angles and wooden elements with multiple edges. The chairs feature back and seat cushions, upholstered in a soft deep green fabric that draws in the eye, bringing a warmth and an earthy richness that pairs beautifully with the beech frames. The armrests are stripped down to their wooden structure, with a tapering element further highlighting the sculptural quality of the model. The short legs, with their carved ridges, balance out the voluptuous bodies, while flowing effortlessly as a continuation of the armrests to ensure the stability of the armchairs.

Created during an age of innovation - from materials, to shapes and techniques - these chairs showcase that the European furniture designers’ artistic approach was anchored in the Art Deco movement. Through their form and quality craftsmanship, this pair of armchairs makes for the perfect stylish touch of warmth and charm.

The “Stora Eva” chair model is from the timeless and iconic Paradiset Collection from the Triva Series, which was created in the 1950s by Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist during her time at Nordiska Kompaniet. Hörlin-Holmquist had a unique and humanistic design vision, and because of her uncompromising attitude, she became one of Sweden’s most renowned mid-century furniture designers.

Hörlin-Holmquist once remarked "I think both furniture and textiles, wherever they end up, must be kind, gentle, and courteous, but without losing their character. They should have human qualities, not be pompous and only stand alone, but be able to adapt to the environment they end up in” and these armchairs are an elegant example of that sentiment. Characterised by the best qualities of mid-century design, these chairs can be incorporated into both contemporary and traditional interiors, lending itself to a timeless, universal appeal. The elegant lines and shape of the backrest create a striking silhouette. The tufted buttons on the backrest serve as the only form of ornamentation, and add to the visual richness of the model. The soft white upholstery is complemented by the tapered stained wood legs. Tilted in the back, the slim legs have a classically modern look. The "Stora Eva" model expresses a particular feeling of warmth and comfort with its friendly and rounded form. Standing at the intersection of form and function, this is a timeless model that will never go out of style.

The craftsmanship displayed in these armchairs are a testament to the high standards of Swedish design in the mid 20th century, reflecting the technical skill and artistic vision of both Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist and Nordiska Kompaniet.

In an era marked by unprecedented cultural dynamism and bold artistic expression, the Art Deco movement emerged as a testament to modernity and sophistication. This period witnessed the creation of exquisite furniture pieces that epitomised the union of form and function, with this pair of armchairs standing out as a prime example.

These armchairs combine the disciplined geometry associated with early modernist seating with the material richness that remained central to Art Deco interiors. The exposed wooden frames feature a continuous linear structure around the chairs, bending outward into broad armrests before descending directly into the sled-style bases. That uninterrupted curve gives the silhouette a strong architectural quality while also softening the severity of the angular construction. The frames are executed in richly toned wood with pronounced grain patterns that become especially visible across the wide arm supports. In contrast, the seats and backrests are upholstered in black hide, introducing a heavily textured surface that changes subtly under light. The material gives the chairs a tactile depth, setting them apart from pieces with smoother upholstery. Thus, this quality creates a contrast between the polished wood and the textured, organic finish of the hide. The proportions emphasize horizontality and give the chairs a grounded presence within a room. Despite the bold construction, the open sides and visible negative space beneath the seats prevent the pieces from overwhelming a space.

The chairs carry a sculptural clarity that feels closely tied to the more architectural side of European Art Deco design. Their silhouettes rely less on ornament and more on the interaction between line, proportion, and material contrast, allowing the pieces to feel both restrained and visually commanding at the same time.

French mid-century seating frequently combined elements of regional craftsmanship with the cleaner lines associated with modernist furniture. Rush weaving, long used in traditional French chairs, remained present throughout the post-war period, particularly in pieces that favoured natural materials and visible construction over heavy upholstery. Rather than concealing how a chair was made, designs like this highlighted joinery, wood grain, and woven surfaces.

This pair of armchairs brings together that approach through a restrained oak frame and handwoven rush seats. The structure is built from slender uprights and gently tapering legs, giving the chairs a light visual presence despite their size and proportions. The tall backrests are composed of vertical slats that introduce rhythm to the silhouette while keeping the form open and airy. The armrests extend from the back before projecting forward in a clean horizontal line, reinforcing the architectural quality of the design. The woven rush seats introduce texture and warmth, contrasting with the smoother surfaces of the wood. The natural fibres soften the geometry of the frame while also emphasizing the craftsmanship involved in the construction.

Together, the chairs inspire a quiet elegance that comes from masterful craftsmanship. The combination of materials creates richness without excess, allowing the structure to remain the focal point. Their silhouettes feel grounded in traditional French furniture making, yet the simplicity of the lines ensures the qualities of mid-century modern design.

This pair of spectacular armchairs by Swedish designer, Svante Skogh, is a rather rare example of the interior and furniture designer’s repertoire. With a creative and masterfully crafted wooden structure, these chairs deserve the limelight in Swedish design history.

These chairs combine function and aesthetic in a striking manner, keeping the form in service of the user while keeping it elegant and modern. The union of the shell-shaped body and the back legs’ structure define this model. While made of entirely different materials, their lines manage to resemble and complement each other, resulting in a harmonious appearance. The back legs not only support the bodies, but also rise to form the support for the armrests. The clear lined frame of this pair contrasts beautifully with the angled seating and gives the pair an open and very photographic appearance. The armrests’ black paint is a small, but ingenious detail, that highlights their form and create a focal point. Due to the well-chosen proportions, angled back, and the high-quality of the design, the chairs are very comfortable.

In Sweden, “svensk design” (Swedish design) in particular operates as a set of relations linking the everyday world - composed of objects, spaces, people - to the cultural ideologies that motivate the persistence of a social democratically infused “way of life.” Thanks to this sentiment, cabinetmakers, like Förenade Möbelfabrikerna, put an emphasis on soft elegance and functionality, making these chairs timeless in every sense of the word.

Art Deco was an era-defining movement in furniture design. During its heyday, it represented luxury, glamour, exuberance and faith in social and technological progress. European furniture designers’ artistic approach was anchored by refinement, expressed through graceful forms and traditional methods. The mix of boldness and richness became central to European Art Deco interiors, where furniture was expected to contribute atmosphere as much as function.

These chairs illustrate the bold aesthetic of the first half of the 20th century. Art Deco designers and cabinetmakers coupled geometry and craftsmanship to create elegantly impressive pieces like this pair. The construction of this stunning pair features high-quality materials, from the wooden frame to the soft upholstery. The frames are defined by the sweeping and sleek arms that curve outward and downward in a flowing motion. Their striking appearance is the result of the brilliant pairing of materials; the solid wood structures’ polished lines stand out against the textural, organic sheepskin while also accentuating the individuality of the upholstery. The long-haired fabric gives the chairs an almost organic appearance while emphasizing comfort and warmth.

As a pair, these armchairs stand as striking examples of European craftsmanship. The thoughtful design, from the choice of materials to the thoughtful details, ensures that these chairs are as much a work of art as they are functional seating, enhancing the comfort and aesthetic value of any space. As relics of a pivotal time in design history, they continue to inspire and captivate, embodying the enduring appeal of modernist and Art Deco principles.

Art Deco seating from the first half of the 20th century moved toward softer and more streamlined forms, rather than relying on heavy ornament. Designers focused on curved silhouettes and volume, creating furniture that fulfilled functional roles. Low armchairs became especially popular in domestic interiors, where comfort and visual softness were balanced with the elegance of the period.

This pair of armchairs embodies that transition through rounded, enveloping bodies and restrained detailing. The broad curved armrests flow directly into the lower structures, creating unified silhouettes with little interruption between elements. Unlike more rigid geometric seating, the forms feel continuous yet strong, with the upholstery enveloping the frames to emphasize the smoothness of the contours. The sand-coloured fabric reinforces the shape, giving the chairs a warm and understated presence while allowing light to move gently across the curved surfaces. The backrests are slightly reclined and contribute to a relaxed posture, while the generously proportioned seats add to the sense of comfort. Small wooden feet remain mostly concealed beneath the bodies, subtly lifting the chairs from the floor without distracting from their compact volumes.

What makes this pair particularly appealing is the combination of visual weight and softness. The chairs feel grounded without looking rigid. They function less as architectural objects and more as carefully shaped upholstered forms, designed with attention to comfort that suits a range of interior styles.

These chairs are exemplary of the main ideals of mid-century modernism, characterised by clean, simple lines, honest use of materials, and a lack of unnecessary decorative embellishments. Instead, the focus is on craftsmanship and clever design.

With a clear preoccupation with geometry, the chairs’ outstanding architectural frames recall the mastery of European designers, particularly Ib Kofod Larsen. The clearly lined frames contrast beautifully with the angled seating and give the pieces an open and light appearance. The backseat of this model is supported by the elongated back legs, creating a unique look. While the refined linearity defines the overall aesthetic, functionality was clearly an important aspect of the design. Due to the well-chosen proportions and upholstered body, the chairs offer great comfort. The lines of the model are crisp and elegant, with the seat and backrest creating an angle that aids the chairs’ stability, comfort and ergonomic design.

While the second half of the 20th century saw the takeover of mass production and many - now iconic - futuristic designs, these chairs preserve the value and beauty of master craftsmanship and exquisite materials. Countering the often quite vivid colours and designs of the era, the beautiful dark wooden frame is paired with light, premium upholstery.
