Pair of Wooden Frame Art Deco Armchairs, France ca 1940s
About the Item
Art Deco (or streamline moderne, as it’s often referred to), was also known as Art Décoratifs. The design style received its “Art Deco” name after the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, hosted in Paris in 1925. The Art Deco period peaked in popularity around the mid-20th century, spreading across Europe and the Unites States up to the start of World War II.
Incorporating Art Deco furniture pieces into interiors is a brilliant way of gracefully achieving the essence of luxury and glamour. This timeless pair of armchairs boasts a beautiful frame that evokes the high-end craftsmanship of the movement, and are a true embodiment of the Art Deco style. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, their unique shape is further highlighted by the beautiful material choices and design of the upholstery.
The chairs feature fully upholstered bodies, outlined by a wooden accent frame, embracing the era’s ruling principle of luxurious comfort without sacrificing style. The upholstery has a tactile dimension that further highlights and adds to the experience of the design. The chairs' wooden frame is a gentle visual contrast to the textile, while also providing a sense of stability and durability, ensuring that this pair will keep standing the test of time.
Art Deco design often incorporated geometric and angular elements, however, in these armchairs, there is a harmonious blend of curves and straight lines, resulting in a balanced and inviting aesthetic that is sure to be a beautiful addition to any interior.

- Pair of Ilmari Lappalainen "Rex" Armchairs for Asko, Finland 1940sBy Ilmari LappalainenLocated in Utrecht, NLLike the “Laila” model, these chairs were designed by Finnish designer, Ilmari Lappalainen for Asko in 1948, and become a beloved model. So much so, that during the 1990s, it was put back into production by Asko. With Ilmari Tapiovaara, who was the artistic director of Asko from 1938 to 1941, the modernization of the company’s range began, and the wooden designs were joined by modern, upholstered furniture pieces, including “Rex”. 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, the generous back with tufted buttons, and the tapered, wooden legs. The body has the classic Nordic look, which explains its contemporary popularity both among the public and institutions. The cosy open design is dominated by the gently enveloping back and arms that appear to welcome the sitter. Thanks to the large seat cushion, the armchairs’ comfort lives up to Lappalainen’s famous standards. The modern aesthetic is further elevated by the textured, premium upholstery that complements the shape and the small lacquered 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 “Laila...Category
