European Cabinetmaker seating pieces from the mid-century era were style-forming like none before, and raised the standard of the European home and to improve the taste for a better quality of design. It is an inheritance coming from a rich tradition of beauty loving people who were courageous enough to break away from the swaddling clothes of the past to entertain new forms for living.
This pair is focused on elegant and measured proportions, balanced compositions, and refined décor elements including the exclusive materials. The versatile shapes, from the rounded edges on the top to the pointed armrests and tapered legs make these chairs stand out. The square-shaped backs and arms are visually defining thanks to their sheer size and shape that complement each other. The backs are gently enveloping, creating a structured, but still flowing angle and impression. The beautiful, richly textured bouclé fabric brings out the versatility of the shapes even further, and contrasts to the solid wood splayed legs’ dark brown colour as well. The chairs are undecorated, the materials and the design itself remain in the centre of the look, which further adds to the modern edge. In general, qualities of European modern furniture include simple clean lines without excess decoration, made with richly grained woods. This pair is completed by matching footstools dressed in the same luxurious bouclé fabric. Their splayed legs highlight the chairs’ legs as well, especially when placed in close proximity.
This set has an understated, elegant look that is harmonious and well-balanced. The design, through the gentle, rounded edges and shapes expresses cosiness without losing any of the elegance. The ergonomic design together with the footstools assure an exceptional lounging experience.
