European Upholstered Lounge Chair, Europe, ca 1950s
About the Item
This elegant winged lounge chair is a great representation of the quality and craftsmanship of mid-century European cabinetmakers and the immediately recognizable characteristics of the era’s modernist design.
The welcoming, rounded shape of the voluminous arm- and backrest is a signature characteristic of European Modernism, especially from the Nordic countries, where this model is likely from. The back is lightly bent and hugs a sitter in the manner of the famous Papa Bear chair by Hans Wegner, while the slender, tapered wood legs prevent the design from looking heavy. The legs’ warm brown colour nicely contrasts to the soft, light colour of the fully upholstered body. This lounge chair is true to the era’s ideals that rejected the pseudo-historical use of ornamentation, instead favouring a pared-down and uncluttered look. The design allows the aesthetics to flow naturally, which is very apparent in the gently curving lines uninterrupted from the top to the seat. This lounge chair is an elegant and comfortable evidence of the mastery and artistry of the European cabinetmakers who defined mid-20th century modern seating. This model is of the highest quality, both in terms of materials and craftsmanship.
As a result of the cabinetmaker’s great sense of proportions and know-how, this lounge chair has a classic look, storied design and solid quality, which make it a truly soulful and timeless piece.

- European Mid-Century Modern Upholstered Lounge Chairs, Europe, circa 1950sLocated in Utrecht, NLMid-Century Modern, a design movement devoted to timeless functionalism established itself in the post-war period with furniture that appealed to the senses. Furniture design was guided by the famous maxim: “Form follows function.” For midcentury designers, materials were used for their own distinct; often a piece of furniture would combine only two materials or colours – creating tension and harmony without fuss or superfluous ornament and these fully upholstered lounge chairs are perfect examples of this sentiment. The duality of two materials and colour scheme create an elegant, self-supporting, and enticingly functional design. The combination of solid wood and high-quality upholstery is traditional in mid-century design for a good reason. The two materials complement each other by highlighting their unique material qualities. This pair falls into the category of the so-called biomorphic midcentury: furniture that relished in organic, curved, smooth surfaces, design that was moulded into the shapes of natural occurrences, and which was a lively contrast to the more austere machine aesthetic...Category
