A well-proportioned Art Deco armchair with a distinctive curved form and a comfortable, supportive seat.
Designed by Jindřich Halabala, 1930s
Jindřich Halabala was one of the key figures of early 20th-century Central European design. His work is known for its clarity of form, bentwood construction, and ability to combine sculptural presence with everyday comfort.
This model is restored to order, with the option to adjust upholstery and wood finish within a small, considered range. We guide the selection to ensure the final piece works naturally with the form of the chair and sits comfortably within a real interior.
The curved back and generous seat create a comfortable and grounded sitting position, allowing the chair to feel both present and easy to live with.
Fabric samples can be provided on request, free of charge, to help you make a confident decision without pressure.
