ABOUT PRODUCTID 12861
This armchair, designed by Zenon Bączyk in the 1970s, exemplifies the hallmarks of Polish modernism: a frame crafted from solid wood in a deep, dark brown finish with a subtle satin sheen accentuates the natural grain and artisanal quality. Broad, gently contoured armrests and removable seat and back cushions—upholstered in thick, soft velvet in a light pea-green shade (Paris series)—define its character. The backrest is detailed with three fabric-covered buttons, giving a discreet, classic rhythm. Its proportions—low, wide seat (height 38 cm, width 70 cm, depth 85 cm), slightly reclined back, and a prominent crossbar for reinforcement—ensure comfort. Visible mortise-and-tenon joints and solid construction are characteristic of the era. The chair has been fully restored; both the wooden frame and upholstery show no signs of wear and remain in near-mint condition. This chair speaks with the voice of 1970s Poland, a time when modernity intertwined with a desire for everyday comfort. The smooth wooden surface and velvety upholstery evoke interiors where design was meant to express progress as well as daily ease. The vivid green of the velvet enlivens the form, as if the piece recalls a spring morning outside a concrete apartment block. Three buttons on the backrest subtly reference global modernist canons, while the generous seat seems to invite relaxation after a long day. The Zenon Bączyk armchair can be paired with a minimalist coffee table in wood or glass, creating a dialogue between textures. It fits seamlessly in mid-century modern living rooms as well as eclectic interiors, where the green velvet will contrast with exposed brick or pale walls. Consider combining it with a tall floor lamp or a rug with a geometric pattern to highlight the era’s rhythm and give the space a welcoming, collector
