In the European design landscape of the mid-20th century, Brutalism emerged as a distinct architectural and artistic movement, influencing not only buildings but also furniture design. The 1950s witnessed the rise of Brutalist furniture pieces, often showcasing the marriage of raw, unfinished materials and sculptural forms. The chairs exemplify the continental Brutalist movement, celebrated today for its honest construction and sculptural poise.

With a robust, organic form and an earth-toned palette, this set highlights the importance of celebrating natural materials. The chairs are made from thick planks of oak, these being the central point, both aesthetically and structurally. The backrest rises a dramatic, wing-back like profile through the flared ears, which taper in before flowing into the seat. This design choice creates a continuous, ergonomic form, that displays the beautifully unique grain of each piece of wood. Each chair rests on splayed front and rear legs joined by a sturdy H-stretcher. Thus, the pieces are strong and sturdy, ensuring their longevity. Not is this set made to last in the practical sense, but their design will never go out of style, through the use of solid wood, creating a timeless look which outlives momentary trends. This set exudes tranquillity through its stylish yet understated shapes and forms. These chairs slip easily around a dining table while being able to command attention when viewed on their own.

Thanks to its low-profile, clean-lined furnishings, natural colour palette, and little ornamentation, Brutalist design resonates with a variety of interior spaces. Today, this style has made a remarkable comeback, capturing the essence of a bygone era while still resonating with contemporary sensibilities. Authentic, raw and bold, this set marries artful craftsmanship with everyday utility, promising decades of inspiring service ahead.
