This iconic pair of Bauhaus style armchairs from the first half of the 20th century represents a fascinating chapter in design history. Although the original design belonged to Marcel Breuer, this is a type that architect Anton Lorenz acquired for the Thonet company in a patent dispute. These particular pieces were manufactured by the renowned Mücke-Melder under the catalog designation Fn 21, making them a proven and highly sought-after collectors item.

Both armchairs have undergone meticulous restoration, restoring their original luster and elegance. The original tubular chrome-plated steel frames have been professionally polished, highlighting their minimalist beauty and durability. For maximum comfort, the armchairs have been newly upholstered in genuine leather, giving them a luxurious and timeless appearance. The armrests, made of bent solid beech wood, are newly lacquered with a high-gloss polyurethane piano finish, perfectly complementing the overall impression.

This pair of armchairs is not only functional furniture but also a work of art that bears the imprint of innovative thinking from the interwar period. It will be a dominant and stylish element in any interior that appreciates design history and top-notch craftsmanship.

It has been reupholstered by our professional refurbishing team in Czechia. Please contact us to find out the details of its reupholstery.
