This elegant pair of lounge chairs is designed by Jindřich Halabala, one of the most influential figures of early 20th-century Central European modernism. Characterised by their gently curved bentwood arms and softly tapered legs, these chairs are a quintessential example of Halabala’s approach: combining functional modern design with warmth, comfort, and refined craftsmanship. The sweeping armrests create a continuous, sculptural line that visually embraces the sitter, a hallmark of Halabala’s most celebrated models.

Produced during the interwar period, these chairs sit firmly within the Art Deco and early Modernist design movement, a time when designers sought to balance industrial innovation with elegant form. Halabala, who worked closely with the UP Závody furniture company, helped popularise modern furniture for middle-class interiors, drawing inspiration from Bauhaus principles while retaining a distinctly Czech sense of proportion and comfort. This pair has been professionally restored and reupholstered in an off-white bouclé fabric, a contemporary yet sympathetic choice that highlights the sculptural silhouette while allowing the beautifully curved woodwork to stand out. The result is a timeless pair that works effortlessly in both period and modern interiors.

Condition: excellent condition. The chairs have been fully restored and professionally reupholstered, with the frames structurally sound and the upholstery fresh and immaculate. Please refer to photographs.
