The armchair with upholstery is based on the original design of the so-called spring chair Marcel Breuer.
After 1933, when the development of tubular furniture began to adapt to the requirements of customers who had already requested upholstered furniture, this type of armchair became a model for many manufacturers, both abroad and especially for Czechoslovak manufacturers.

Made by Mücke Melder, an influential modernist furniture manufacturer that specialised in tubular steel designs.

In pristine original condition, the upholstery has been professionally cleaned, and its polish revived by our refurbishing team in Czechia.

This item features classic Bauhaus design elements. Elements of this style are neutral colours, and occasional bright primary colours. Bauhaus designers avoided the fussy and pretentious, looking for clean, modern lines instead. Perfect for a timeless, yet modern look.

More about the manufacturer:

Mucke - Melder began production in 1928 with furniture made of nickel-plated and chrome-plated steel. The first type was a spring chair designed by A. Lurcat for the company Thonet, whose designs he often used under license. Arnošt Beck designed her own design for it. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
