These chairs embody halabala's philosophy of accessible, functional elegance with a distinctly modern flair. With their sweeping, sculptural bentwood arms crafted from warm blond beech, they represent a rare and highly desirable variation of halabala’s celebrated designs. These chairs stand apart with their bold, looped bentwood armrests—an expressive feature that defines the silhouette and enhances both comfort and structure. The frame exhibits a beautiful, naturally aged patina, and the wood remains in excellent original condition, offering collectors and designers alike an authentic period presence. The armchairs retain their original geometric woven upholstery in a red tone with ivory patterning. While the upholstery remains structurally sound and contributes to their historical charm, we recommend reupholstering to align with modern comfort or aesthetic preferences. Halabala’s work is celebrated for bridging traditional european craftsmanship with emerging modernist ideals. These chairs exemplify that vision—functional, inviting, and visually dynamic. Whether placed in a living space, study, or design-led interior, they deliver a statement of mid-century elegance with enduring appeal.
