ABOUT PRODUCTID 9666
The Model 53 armchair, designed by Jaroslav Šmídek and produced by TON in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, stands as a testament to mid-century modern design. The chair features a solid bent beech wood frame, finished in a warm oak stain and sealed with a semi-matte lacquer that subtly highlights the natural grain. Elegantly curved armrests flow seamlessly into splayed, sculpted legs, giving the piece both stability and a sense of lightness. The seat and backrest are upholstered in a high-quality, cool light blue fabric with a matte finish and a fine, slightly textured weave. Generous padding provides comfort, while the armchair’s balanced proportions reflect the approachable forms characteristic of Czechoslovakian modernism. Visible round wooden plugs emphasize craftsmanship. The chair has undergone full professional restoration—woodwork, upholstery, and padding are all in excellent condition, with no signs of wear or repair. This form echoes the voice of the 1960s, a period in Central Europe marked by the search for harmony between function and understated decoration. The Model 53 armchair tells the story of an era that valued everyday
