Set of Four Brutalist Oak Dining Chairs, Europe 20th Century

About the Item

Thanks to low-profile, clean-lined furnishings, an earth-tone-inspired colour palette, and little ornamentation, the minimal Brutalist design style resonates with a variety of interior spaces. This set exudes tranquillity through its stylish but understated shapes and forms. There is a reason behind solid wooden furniture’s enduring popularity: wood never goes out of style. It is enduring, sturdy, versatile, and visually appealing. As we find ourselves in a design era that embraces the nostalgia of the mid-20th century, Brutalist furniture is experiencing a resurgence. This set of four solid oak chairs serves as both an homage to the past and a testament to the timeless allure of Brutalist design. Characterized by its bold use of raw and rugged aesthetics, it found its way into furniture design during an era marked by experimentation and rebellion against traditional norms. The desire for honest, unadorned materials and the celebration of craftsmanship drove the popularity of Brutalist furniture in much of Europe. Oak, a sturdy and resilient hardwood, became the most favoured choice for creating these robust pieces that reflected the movement's ethos. In these chairs, the pattern and grain of the wood is striking, showing the traces of history in every line and mark. Sensitive touches enliven the design, visible in the careful craftsmanship. The quality of woodworking is evident, with handcrafted edges and impeccable joinery that masterfully utilizes nothing but the wood itself. Through its eccentric geometries and expressive forms - Brutalist furniture design’s best qualities - these chairs are perfect for any interior. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some marks and cracks on the wood.

  • Set of 4 Sculptural Patinated Oak Spinning Chairs, Europe ca early 20th century
    Located in Utrecht, NL
    The ‘spinning chair’, this historic type of seating has had numerous modern interpretations across Europe, however, most preserved the main functional characteristics: solid wood, enduring, high quality craftsmanship, a tall, straight back for good posture and freedom of movement. The art of spinning yarn is thousands of years old, but the spinning wheel as we know it is estimated to have arrived in Europe around the middle of the 13th century and along with it came the three or four-legged spinning chair. The backs were often hand carved with various motifs or fantasy creatures making each one unique and individual. As these oak chairs show, the Modernist movement influenced the traditional design by removing most of the intricate decorative elements, and substituting them with a more streamlined structure. The carved high backs and octagonal seats...
