These chairs are celebrated for their sophisticated use of steam-bent wood, a technique that allows for the dramatic, continuous curves seen in the armrests.

the design bridges the gap between pre-war elegance and mid-century functionalism, featuring a wide, welcoming silhouette and architectural wooden supports.

restoration & condition
the pair has undergone a complete professional refurbishment, restoring them to exceptional condition while highlighting their historic craftsmanship.

upholstery: the chairs have been newly upholstered in a premium ivory bouclé fabric. The soft, nubby texture of the bouclé provides a contemporary contrast to the sleek, dark wood frames.

woodwork: the signature bentwood armrests and frames have been meticulously refinished in a deep, dark stain with a subtle satin luster, accentuating the elegant grain of the beechwood.

structure: all joints have been tightened and reinforced, ensuring the chairs are as sturdy and comfortable as they were nearly a century ago.
