This pair of armchairs is an exceptional example of pinnacle Czechoslovak Art Deco design. These chairs were produced in Czechoslovakia during the 1980s as an exclusive reissue based on the original iconic design from 1930. This timeless design was conceived by Hana Kučerová-Záveská, one of the most prominent female architects and designers of the interwar avant-garde. The original model was manufactured in the 1930s by the legendary Thonet company (which later operated under the name TON during the postwar era).
The frame of the armchairs is crafted from high-quality solid beech wood in a dark, elegant finish. The remarkable geometry of the frame, featuring smoothly integrated curved armrests wrapping around the seat, gives the chairs an unmistakable architectural silhouette. The chairs are upholstered in a luxurious and highly acclaimed upholstery fabric from the Austrian textile manufacturer Backhausen, renowned for its historic Art Nouveau and Art Deco patterns. The sophisticated gray-beige rose motif beautifully harmonizes with the dark wood, accentuating the interwar elegance of the entire set.
The defining highlight of this pair is its pristine condition. The armchairs have never been used and served solely as decoration, meaning they have been preserved in perfect, original condition. The wood, upholstery, and fabric show absolutely no signs of wear. This complete pair represents an extraordinary collector's opportunity and a highly valuable interior statement piece that seamlessly bridges the history of Czech design with luxurious craftsmanship.
