Crafted from solid oak, the piece combines traditional craftsmanship with emerging modern proportions, visible in its compact yet unusually wide seat format and refined structural balance.
The frame has been carefully refreshed using traditional French polish, enhancing the natural grain and depth of the oak while preserving its original character.
The chair has been fully reupholstered with a thoughtful material composition. The generously proportioned seat features a thick Italian Minotti jacquard tapestry fabric, offering both durability and a rich textile presence. The backrest is upholstered in a high-quality Belgian bouclé, adding a tactile contrast and soft visual volume. The rear side is finished with decorative nailhead trim, reinforcing its crafted, architectural identity.
The turned front legs and cross stretcher detail reflect traditional Central European woodworking, while the overall silhouette already moves towards a more restrained, modern lounge typology.
A rare and highly characterful vintage piece, combining late 1930s Hungarian design with premium contemporary upholstery. See less
