ABOUT PRODUCTID 20225
This armchair designed by František Jirák and produced by TON in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s exemplifies the hallmarks of mid-century modern design. The upholstery features a deep, warm red with a matte finish and a distinct, slightly coarse texture. The seat and backrest are outlined by subtle golden-beige piping that adds a refined accent. The bentwood frame, finished in a medium walnut-brown stain with a semi-gloss sheen, highlights the natural grain of the wood. Elegantly curved armrests flow seamlessly into the frame, emphasizing the organic lines and functional clarity of the piece. The proportions are low and wide, with a gently reclined backrest and splayed legs for stability and comfort. The condition is very good, with only minor signs of age-related wear on both fabric and wood, and no significant damage or repairs. The chair retains its original patina and authentic vintage character.This chair seems to narrate the story of 1960s Czechoslovakia—a time when modernism embraced craftsmanship and functionality was inseparable from form. The deep red upholstery speaks of postwar optimism, while the bentwood elements recall the legacy of Thonet, reinterpreted for a new design language. The wide seat and softly rounded contours invite relaxation, as if the piece quietly suggests: “Pause for a moment and savor everyday comfort.”The armchair could be paired with a low table in light wood or a minimalist coffee table to highlight its proportions. It works well in a mid-century modern living room or an eclectic interior where a bold color accent breaks up a subdued palette. It is worth combining it with a soft, ambient lamp and textile accessories in warm, neutral tones—a wool throw or cushion will enhance the depth of the red and balance the chair’s
