ABOUT PRODUCTID 11996
This oak armchair, designed by Olgierd Szlekys for the ŁAD Artists' Cooperative, represents the essence of Polish 1960s design, where functionalism merges with artisanal precision. The robust, geometric frame features clearly defined lines, a slightly reclined backrest composed of vertical slats, and broad, flat armrests that provide both visual balance and practical support. The medium-brown oak, finished in a semi-matte sheen, highlights the natural grain and tactile quality of the wood. Exposed joinery details, such as the visible dowels on the backrest, emphasize craftsmanship and structural integrity. The seat is subtly curved for comfort, and the tapered, outward-splayed legs add stability while evoking the mid-century modern aesthetic. Stamped with the P.K.P.G. mark, the chair remains in its original, collectible condition; the surface shows minor, age-appropriate wear and a preserved patina that attests to authenticity.This armchair echoes the narrative of Polish modernism in the 1960s, a period when designers like Szlekys sought harmony between simplicity of form and quality of execution. The chair's silhouette seems to speak with the voice of postwar Warsaw—marked by seriousness, functionality, and an honest approach to materials. The oak, with its delicate grain, conjures images of public interiors from the era, where durability and poised elegance coexisted with a democratic vision of design.
