The designer of these chairs evidently attached importance to form and function. With an open design profile, these chairs carry with them some of the fundamental characteristics and ideals of mid-century modernism.
Clutter-free and disciplined, these low sitting lounge chairs are as functional as aesthetically pleasing. Their round shape is reminiscent of the Artifort style in that they have a sinuous and expressive quality that is harmonious and organic. There is also a certain quiet power to the design that is pared-down to the essential, exuding simplicity and timelessness. Their open construction is constituted of the generous seats and the embracing, enveloping backs that flow towards the front to form the shell of the seats. This creates an inviting and open look which is a signature characteristic of mid-century modernism. Thanks to the sinuous, large surfaces, the velour fabric dominates the overall look of these lounge chairs, accentuating the round shapes and curves. The short, splayed legs prevent the chairs from looking heavy by slightly lifting them off the ground, while their warm brown colour nicely compliments the elegant colour of the bodies.
Without any ornamentation, the focus here is on the round, flowing lines of the body and its upholstery. From the muted colour scheme to the material choices, these chairs are essentially mid-century modern and therefore, can add that cosy charm into any space.
