Each chair is defined by its robust, architectural frame, with thick uprights, exposed joinery, and a low, grounded stance. The arms are broad and substantial, supported by turned vertical elements and accented with carved roundel details, giving the pieces a sense of craftsmanship and visual weight.

The backs feature a simple slatted design, gently angled for comfort, while the seats are fitted with loose upholstered cushions that soften the otherwise solid timber construction. The warm tone of the oak, combined with its visible grain, adds depth and character to the overall design.

Likely Belgian in origin and dating from the 1960s, the chairs embody the period’s interest in expressive, hand-crafted furniture.

We would recommend re-upholstery for these chairs. We can provide this service.
