The iconic H269 model is a celebrated example of Central European Art Deco, distinguished by its sculptural form, flowing lines, and elegant bentwood construction.

The armchairs feature bent beechwood frames, which have undergone professional restoration and careful refreshing. All wooden elements were cleaned, stabilized, and finished with great respect for the original craftsmanship, preserving the natural grain and authentic character of the wood. The frames are in very good condition, showing a subtle, elegant patina consistent with age.

The chairs are upholstered in a high-quality bouclé fabric in a rich bottle-green tone, which beautifully complements the warm color of the beechwood. The upholstery was applied with attention to the original proportions and character of the model, enhancing the visual depth and tactile quality while remaining faithful to the Art Deco aesthetic.

These armchairs combine historical value with refined design and everyday usability. Their balanced proportions, organic bentwood structure, and generous seating make them both visually striking and comfortable. A timeless pair that works equally well as a statement piece in a modern interior or as part of a curated vintage or Art Deco collection.

An outstanding and increasingly collectible design by Jindřich Halabala, ideal for discerning collectors, interior designers, and lovers of authentic 20th-century European design. This piece has an attribution mark,
