this exceptionally iconic reclining armchair (model h-70) in the distinct art deco style dates from the 1930s in czechoslovakia. The authorial signature of this exceptional piece of furniture bears the hallmark of the renowned czechoslovak designer jindřich halabala, produced by the prestigious up factories. The primary artistic concept stems from modernist principles of dynamic fluidity, ergonomics, and master craftsmanship of bent oak wood. The architectural structure of the armchair is built upon a robust, seamlessly flowing base forming dynamic side arches that visually lighten the entire construction while transitioning into comfortable armrests. The outstanding aesthetic impression and maximum user comfort are heightened by an ingenious reclining mechanism combined with new professional upholstery in a vibrant red shade, imparting an unmistakable interwar charm to the furniture.

the item has undergone a complete, highly professional, and sensitive restoration combined with thorough professional cleaning, the revitalization of the polish, and new professional upholstery. Thanks to this, this unique armchair has fully retained its precious historical patina and extraordinary collector's value while offering one hundred percent reclining functionality and uncompromising comfort.

thanks to its renowned modernist origin, prestigious design by jindřich halabala, and utterly timeless design, this reclining armchair serves as a highly prestigious yet fully functional element in a modern interior. It stands out perfectly in a representative living room, a luxury library, or as a breathtaking design solitaire in a space emphasizing top-tier interwar czechoslovak design.
