This highly desirable pair of Art Deco armchairs was designed by Jindřich Halabala and produced in Czechoslovakia during the 1940s. Halabala is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in Czech modern furniture design, known for his expressive bentwood constructions, balanced proportions, and emphasis on comfort combined with architectural clarity. These armchairs are a strong and unmistakable example of his mature Art Deco style. The design is defined by the gracefully curved solid wood armrests, which sweep forward in a continuous sculptural line and frame the upholstered seats. This iconic bentwood gesture gives the chairs their dynamic visual presence while also providing excellent ergonomic support. The softly contoured backrests feature subtle vertical channeling, adding rhythm and depth to the design and enhancing overall comfort. Both armchairs retain their original upholstery, presented in good vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear. The fabric shows an even, gentle patina that complements the dark-stained wooden frames and reinforces the authenticity of the pair. The seats are generously proportioned and supportive, making the chairs suitable for daily use as lounge chairs or refined accent seating. The chairs stand on tapered solid wood legs, offering stability while maintaining an elegant and visually light appearance. Thanks to their compact yet expressive proportions, they integrate effortlessly into a variety of interiors, including Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern, and contemporary spaces.

A rare opportunity to acquire an original matched pair of Czech Art Deco armchairs by Jindřich Halabala, highly sought after by collectors and interior designers worldwide.
