ABOUT PRODUCTID 10046
The H-269 armchair, designed by Jindřich Halabala in the late 1920s for UP Závody, exemplifies the aesthetics of Central European modernism. Its construction rests on broad, elegantly curved armrests and runners, crafted from dark, matte-finished bent ash wood. The seat and backrest are upholstered in a deep, cool blue velvet with a subtle sheen, outlined by light beige piping that accentuates the chair’s geometric silhouette. A single, centrally positioned button in matching beige adds a discreet decorative detail to the backrest. The proportions are low and wide, with a gently reclined back and sculpted arms, reflecting the ergonomic priorities of the era. The craftsmanship is evident in the smooth texture of the wood and the evenly tensioned upholstery. The armchair has undergone full restoration, including both woodwork and upholstery, with a subtle reinforcement in one leg. Condition: excellent, with no visible signs of use.The silhouette of the H-269 armchair echoes the spirit of the late 1920s, when modernism broke with tradition and craftsmanship met the avant-garde. The sweeping curves of the arms evoke the architectural gestures of the time—opening wide as if inviting one to rest in the soft embrace of velvet. The cool blue upholstery and contrasting piping recall living rooms where comfort and progressive aesthetics found harmony. Each element of the design tells a story of an era when attention to detail and bold innovation shaped everyday objects.This armchair could be paired with a minimalist coffee table in light wood or glass, allowing its sculptural form to stand out.
