Amidst the tumultuous political landscape of 1970s Czechoslovakia, designers demonstrated remarkable resilience. Despite the constraints imposed by the era, they managed to create innovative and functional pieces that embodied the principles of modernism. These club chairs, initially housed in the iconic RTVS program building - completed in 1975 - stand as clear visual icons to this creative spirit. The building's modernist style, innovative use of materials and structure likely influenced contemporary furniture designs, including these chairs. The chairs' design language, with its emphasis on clean lines, functional spaces, and modern aesthetics, echoes the architectural style of the building.
This set of eight club chairs from the 1970s are a captivating embodiment of geometric modernist design. Each chair features a cylindrical base with a circular seat, creating a robust foundation. The backrest and armrests - designed as a single, unified piece - form a semi-enclosed structure that envelops the sitter. This design juxtaposes sharp lines and right angles with the soft, rounded seat and premium fabric, creating a visually intriguing and inviting appearance. These chairs are upholstered in a light, plush fabric, adding comfort and sophistication to the bold, rigid form. The chairs' minimalist aesthetic, with their clean lines and lack of excessive decoration, reflects the modernist principles prevalent in Czechoslovakian design. The designers of the era, such as Jindřich Halabala, Miroslav Navrátil, and Karel Kozelka, were renowned for their ability to blend modernism with traditional craftsmanship, often using materials like wood, metal, and textiles to create elegant and versatile pieces easily recognisable within today’s design landscape.
The unique fusion of modernist minimalism and traditional craftsmanship in these club chairs not only gives them their distinctive geometric forms, but also makes them a symbol of an era. They embody the innovative spirit of Czech designers during a transformative period in Central European design history. The RTVS, once the tallest building in the former Czechoslovakia, now stands unused and preserved. The design of these chairs is embedded with the RTVS building and Czech history, broadly fused with a timeless aesthetic - a testament to the era's design legacy, serving as a tangible link to the past.

Italian designer Giancarlo Piretti emerged as a leading figure in postwar furniture design, known for combining technical ingenuity with sculptural forms. As a longtime collaborator with Anonima Castelli, Piretti developed groundbreaking designs in the 1960s and 70s, many of which explored modularity and ergonomics. His works, such as the iconic “Plia” folding chair and “Plia” table, won multiple international design awards, and still find their home in museums word-wide - from Austria, to the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and the United States.
The “Alky” lounge chair - which debuted in 1970 - is among his most celebrated works and reflects the experimental spirit of the period, while maintaining a strong sense of comfort and approachability. The chairs showcase their signature curvilinear form, expertly upholstered in a soft off-white bouclé that enhances the chairs’ inviting charm. They are reminiscent of clouds, both through their flowy, plushy shape and soft fabric. The design features a continuous silhouette, from backrest to seat to base, all supported by a lightweight aluminium structure. The sled frames also rest on aluminium feet, ensuring the stability of the chairs. Their curved shape hugs the body and provides a comfortable sitting experience, further highlighting Piretti’s attention to ergonomics. The design is balanced, with the textile surfaces adding warmth, contrasting the modernist structure with a sense of softness.
These “Alky” chairs remain examples of 1970s Italian design and perfect illustrations of how form and function can harmonise effortlessly. Ideal as statement pieces in a living room, lounge, or studio, they offer timeless comfort and a sculptural presence that continues to resonate in contemporary interiors.

This pair of oaken “Grand Repos” lounge chairs deserves its title of iconic, both in terms of quality and design. This model visually represents the very reason Votre Maison, the French duo, Guillerme et Chambron’s company significantly influenced French design history.
Guillerme and Chambron are known for their high-quality, solid oak furniture and the “Grand Repos” model is without a doubt their most distinctive seating design thanks to its spindle backrest and distinctive frame with plenty of curvature. With a solid wooden frame, the support for the back of each chair consists of six, symmetrically arranged wooden spindles extending upwards. The backrests are slightly tilted for comfort, aided by the generous seats and back cushions. The back cushions are adorned with tufted buttons that add depth to the textured bouclé upholstery. The standout feature of this model are the creative overarching spindles that create an almost throne-like, grandiose effect. The curvature of the arms follows the lines of the backs, and gently curve outwards. “Grand Repos” stands for “great rest” in French, and with a well-though out, elegant design, this pair is sure to provide exactly that. The elegant light colour of the upholstery of the seat and back cushions beautifully compliments the light oak frames. The back cushions are secured with loops that attach to the back spindles, ensuring that the cushions stay in position.
The woodworking truly shows the overall quality of this pair, the frames are refined and the attention to the smallest detail shows the design and manufacturing skills of Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron. Since each chair was created by hand, they differ marginally in size and shape visible in the backs and legs, making them even more unique.

About the Designer:
Robert Guillerme graduated in 1934 from the École Boulle where he excelled in architecture and furniture design. After the Second World War he moved to Lille, in the north of France, where he decorated homes and designed furniture for the well regarded Rogier workshops.
In 1948, Guillerme was joined by his long-time friend, decorator Jacques Chambron in Lille. The following year Guillerme and Chambron met master cabinetmaker Émile Dariosecq, owner of a woodworking shop and the company Votre Maison was born. Together, they defined and imposed a new furniture concept. Thanks to their distinctive creativity, originality, and quality, the Votre Maison quickly became well-known.
The Votre Maison marked the history of French design. Guillerme drew the furniture designs while Chambron played the part of salesman, welcoming and advising clients. The power duo was complemented by Dariosecq, whose workshop took charge of the manufacturing. Together, they defined new furnishings concepts. Well-crafted chair back, polished wood and thick cushions make the reputation of their armchairs and sofas. Votre Maison continued to produce furniture right into the 20th century, with Jacques’s son Hervé Chambron, a designer and graduate of the École Boulle, having taken the over in 1983. ~H.

Bridge Chairs - Fauteuil Bridge - from France are generally lightweight, often part of a set of matching chairs and bridge table. Bridge chairs were originally designed in the late 1930s for ladies for leisure activities, such as for games of bridge, afternoon tea, and gossiping. As this pair of bridge chairs exhibits, the models are stylish, of small proportions, well-made, and extremely comfortable.
This solid oak “Fumay” pair is indeed, part of a dining group designed in 1965 by the world-famous French duo, Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron. As the version with arms, this pair’s frames are quite distinctive; the decorative elements on the backrests and armrests show and interesting curvature that is characteristic of the designer duo. These sculptural elements paired with the tapered legs are carved out of the blonde oak in an artistic way, testifying of the quality that the duo’s company, Votre Maison became famous for. The structures have unexpected details, such as the seats, with sides that are covered by the cushions, making them look invisible. Another such detail are the stretchers arranged between the legs at different heights in the fronts and sides. The genius of the design lies in these details that no matter how different, still complement each other. The sleek look is completed by the upholstered cushions in light bouclé fabric, that pairs beautifully with the colour of the blonde oak.
The French designers’ models are considered as a reference among the furniture of the 1950s through the 70s. This pair of dining chairs from the 60s gives a visual explanation why: the proportions, the subtle decorative elements, and the quality of woodworking is of the highest-quality, and the result is an immediately recognizable look that will never go out of style.

This pair of armchairs is what we consider a timeless Danish Modern classic. The “ND83” was designed in 1952 by Nanna and Jørgen Ditzel for the exhibition 'Today’s Furniture, Home Equipment' in the Forum Hall Copenhagen in 1952.
Chairs are often considered especially revealing of a designer's skill because of the strict limits placed on their design by the demands of the human body. With this model, the Ditzels arrive at a clearly-structured solution in which a high degree of coherence is maintained while the chair appears visually light and open. The structure of the chairs is made entirely of solid oak. Each sculpted leg is made of a single piece of timber that ascend gently, giving stability to the curved backs. Rounded oak dowels plug the holes in which the fastenings for the back can be found -these help to create the elegant simplicity and honesty of the frame. The large curved backs extend up to the front, forming the armrests for a cosy and elegant profile similar to that of a tub chair. The elegance is further enhanced by the premium bouclé upholstery which complements the oak gracefully.
Cabinetmaker Søren Willadsen handcrafted these chairs, while them company Selig Co., imported them to the U.S. market from Denmark in 1952. The “ND83” model is still made to order today, however chairs – like these - from the original production show Ditzel and Willadsen’s true genius. The original marking on the wood is retained.

During the mid-20th century, European designers turned their attention to rethinking domestic comfort, and explored how new ideas of form and proportion could transform the experience of sitting and living. Moving away from traditional ornament and into a culture of experimentation, they began focusing on honest materials, balanced lines, and structure. This was a period when modernism evolved into a human-centered vision of modern living.
This pair of lounge chairs captures that spirit with its thoughtful interplay of geometry and tactility. The frames, crafted in solid wood with box joinery, celebrate craftsmanship while maintaining a striking simplicity. The low, grounded stance gives the pieces a quiet strength, while the broad seats invite relaxed, informal lounging. To complement the solid frame, the backrests feature a circular cushion, an unexpected sculptural element that softens the chairs’ rectilinear frames and adds visual interest without unnecessary embellishment. Upholstered in richly textured bouclé, the chairs pair a tactile, inviting surface with the clean lines of their timber base, achieving a compelling balance between warmth and restraint. The traditional joinery details are left visible, underscoring the mid-century belief in structural honesty and the inherent beauty of well-made construction.
As a pair, the chairs are both understated and iconic, a reminder that modern design is not about excess, but about clarity and intention. More than just a functional pair, they reflect a postwar European ethos that embraced innovation while remaining deeply connected to craft and the human experience of comfort.

Italian Modern furniture is defined by unique design, perfect execution, and exclusivity. Modernist Italian designers’ language was always coherent with current times and congenial to the wisdom of furniture manufacturing, representing an outpost of strong innovation in the panorama of Italian craftsmanship.
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 square, unattached armrests and tapered legs make these chairs stand out. The V-shaped high backs are visually defining thanks to their sheer size and unusual shape. The enveloping backs become narrower towards the seat, like elegant, slim necks, with the sides flowing into the armrests, 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 the solid wood legs as well. The backs are decorated with seven, yellow cross stitches arranged symmetrically, which further adds to the modern edge.
The 1960s’ Italy was especially passionate about furniture and product design, an area where the country remained faithful to a figurative repertoire of substantial classicism, while not disdaining impulses of authentic modernity. Similar designs are commonly attributed to Paolo Buffa, who - like many of his contemporaries - was extremely active in the Milanese design scene that was just as vibrant as these chairs. In an atmosphere committed to the reinterpretation of the Lombard classicism and Milanese architecture, exceptional pieces were created as this pair shows.

The first golden age of Scandinavian design took place from the 1930s through the 1970s. During this period, furniture designers created works that offered unique twists on tradition, that would soon become prized for their innovative features, exemplified by this pair of armchairs. Sven Larsson's designs were characterised by their functional and practical qualities, as well as their simple, understated aesthetic.
While the main principles of Swedish Modernism centre around minimalism, simplicity and functionalism, cabinetmakers like Larsson also liked to try their hands at wooden ornamentation. These armchairs achieve to follow the basic principles while also offering plenty of visually arresting qualities, which include the sculpted legs, the ladder back, and the cushions covered in upholstery adorned with buttons. The pine frame is visually arresting, defined by the sculpted legs that reach up to support the armrests. Swedish cabinetmakers relied on solid wood in order to provide the excellent structure and durability that it delivers. Generally, lighter coloured woods, such as pine, were chosen so that the material could stand out as an important design feature. The wood here was beautifully moulded under the hands of the master cabinetmaker, creating unparalleled shapes and smoothness. The pine’s grain and pattern is very appealing throughout the design, which adds an organic touch to the look. This pair displays a beautiful contrast between the light wooden frame’s colour and the elegant off-white fabric of the cushions.
The craftsmanship of these chairs is without a doubt of the highest quality, and Sven Larsson had a great sense of proportions. This beautifully crafted pair of armchairs lives up to its Swedish heritage both in terms of design and quality, which are further elevated by the luxurious bouclé upholstery.

In the midst of the swinging 1960s, a remarkable design style emerged, a kind of mature mid-century modernism that captivated the essence of the era's design trends. These lounge chairs, mixing classic materials and shapes, remain exemplary representations of the innovative European furniture design that characterized the period.
The 1960s was a time of radical change, and this dynamism was reflected in the furniture design of the era as well. European designers sought to break away from the traditional and embrace bold, cosy shapes. These lounge chairs are no exception. Their stylish form is characterized by open, inviting lines, and soft, round edges. This design approach emphasized comfort and relaxation, a response to the desire for a more laid-back lifestyle and a rejection of the stiffness of earlier decades. The dark stained oak legs add a touch of sophistication and warmth to the chairs. What makes these legs particularly noteworthy is their functionality: gently splayed, they not only contribute to the chairs' stability but also provide stark visual contrast to the soft, textured bouclé upholstery. The combination of oak's natural beauty and the geometric allure of the bouclé fabric created an enchanting juxtaposition.
These lounge chairs encapsulate the spirit of the '60s by merging form and function, celebrating the liberating spirit of the time. They represent the heyday of mid-century modern design with a retro tinge mainly thanks to the large tufted buttons that adorn the backs.

These armchairs are a clear expression of European mid-century modern design, a period defined by softer forms, functional comfort, and a move away from rigid older styles. Designers of the mid-20th century increasingly focused on how furniture was used in everyday life, prioritising ergonomics and visual warmth alongside clean, modern lines. This approach resulted in seating that feels approachable, while still maintaining a strong sense of craftsmanship.
The chairs are fully upholstered, giving them a soft and cohesive presence, with curved arms that visually frame the design. The proportions are low and grounded, creating a relaxed posture that encourages sitting back and unwinding. The textured upholstery adds depth and warmth, emphasising the quality of the chairs while also enhancing their comfort. The cushions are thick without feeling bulky, striking a balance between support and softness. The colour of the wooden feet contrasts with the off-white upholstery creating visual interest while maintaining the perfect aesthetic balance of the chairs. This complementing nature can also be felt on a textural level, with fabric adding a tactile dimension through its soft appearance, while the tapered legs add a modern, smooth feel.
These armchairs offer a strong combination of comfort, character, and versatility. Their timeless mid century design allows them to blend effortlessly with both modern and vintage interiors, while their generous upholstery makes them ideal for everyday use.
