ABOUT PRODUCTID 12274
The A 590 chair, designed by Marian Sigmund and produced by Bifameg Jasienica in 1957, stands as an example of Polish 1950s modernism. The frame, crafted from beechwood in a warm honey tone with a semi-matte finish, highlights visible grain and subtle patina. The bent plywood backrest features a distinctive, softly cut-out opening in the lower section, accentuating the lightness and organic profile of the piece. The seat is upholstered in dark green artificial leather—appearing almost black depending on the light—with a smooth, slightly glossy surface. The slender, tapered legs are joined by a rounded stretcher, ensuring the structure's stability. Visible joinery and woodworking details reflect the craftsmanship typical of Polish furniture from this era. The condition is original and worn, showing minor scratches, scuffs, and patina, but without significant damage.The form of the A 590 chair speaks with the voice of its era, when functionality and simplicity merged with a search for fresh expression. The minimalist yet distinctive cut-out in the backrest seems to invite a pause—a nod to modernist confidence and the power of detail. Patina and traces of use serve not as flaws, but as a narrative of daily rituals from decades past; the chair preserves the aura of the 1950s, a time when Polish design was reinventing itself in response to postwar realities.The chair could find its place in a living room styled in the spirit of mid-century modern, paired with a wooden coffee table of clean lines or a slim-legged shelving unit. It would also suit a 1950s or 1960s desk or vanity, while the dark green upholstery harmonizes with bottle-green textiles or large-leaved plants. The piece may also be combined with contemporary accents—a lamp of geometric form or a minimalist rug—to highlight its timeless silhouette.
