ABOUT PRODUCTID 7031
Designed by Robert Slezak for Thonet in Czechoslovakia during the 1930s, this armchair is a refined example of Central European modernism with clear Bauhaus influences. The structure is based on a tubular, chromed steel frame bent into a continuous cantilever form—a hallmark of the avant-garde design of its time. The seat and backrest are upholstered in a deep charcoal gray fabric, featuring a matte, subtly textured surface. Armrests are crafted from light oak wood, smoothly finished with a satin sheen, providing a gentle contrast to the dark upholstery. The proportions are balanced, with robust construction and meticulously fitted details. No visible signs of wear or damage are present—the armchair is preserved in very good condition, with refreshed upholstery and renewed wooden and chromed elements. The design resonates with the spirit of the 1930s: as if the armchair could recount an era of optimism, when modernity was within reach. The chrome frame reflects the light of the room, and the soft geometry seems to suggest movement and weightlessness—inviting relaxation without excess. Oak and graphite fabric form a duo that evokes the atmosphere of functional yet welcoming salons of the era, where innovation met everyday comfort. This armchair may be combined with a minimalist metal-based side table or placed next to a bentwood bookshelf, echoing classic Bauhaus compositions. It
