ABOUT PRODUCTID 29936
The cantilever chair by Mart Stam is a striking example of modernist design, conceived in the Bauhaus spirit of the 1930s and produced in Czechoslovakia by Kovona during the 1950s. Its structure relies on a tubular steel frame finished in matte silver, which contrasts with the warm, walnut brown of the bent plywood seat, backrest, and armrests. The wood has a semi-gloss finish, highlighting its natural grain and a subtle patina. Ergonomically shaped seat and backrest offer comfort, while the integrated wooden armrests soften the austerity of the form. The construction is completed by seamless welds and exposed screws on the backrest—details that underscore the industrial precision and authenticity of the era. The chair is preserved in excellent, restored condition, with minimal signs of use typical for an original vintage piece.This chair carries a narrative of early modernism: the steel frame seems to lift the seat as if challenging gravity, and the geometric lines evoke the atmosphere of avant-garde studios of the 1930s—an era where function and aesthetics converged in a single vision. The patina of the wood and the coolness of metal create a subtle dialogue between industry and craftsmanship, and original screws and welds allow a tangible sense of history. As a quiet witness to past decades, the chair preserves the momentum of the modernist revolution within its contours.The chair can be combined with a minimalist writing desk from the era or a contemporary glass or marble table. It works well in living rooms, studios, or collector's spaces, where light will accentuate the wood’s semi-gloss and the matte steel. Pairing it with other Bauhaus elements or a neutral palette—white, grey, graphite—as well as with textile accents
