ABOUT PRODUCTID 5459
This pair of armchairs, designed by Jaroslav Šmidek for the Czech manufacturer Jitona, exemplifies 1960s mid-century modern. Their construction is based on solid walnut wood, with the grain accentuated by a deep, semi-matte lacquer. Wide, flat armrests and angular splayed legs emphasize the lightness of form, while precise, hardware-free joints attest to the quality of craftsmanship. The upholstery—new and introduced during the full restoration—features a warm beige color with a repeating geometric wave pattern in light caramel, giving the fabric a soft, matte look and a tactile sense of comfort. With dimensions of 79 cm in height, 64 cm in width, and 77 cm in depth, these armchairs are suitable for both relaxation and everyday use in the living room. The set is in excellent condition following comprehensive professional restoration. There is a quiet voice of 1960s Central Europe in these chairs: order, poise, and understated confidence. The geometric upholstery pattern echoes the architectural repetition of the era, while the broad, gently rounded armrests suggest long afternoons spent in conversation. The darkened, matte walnut softly reflects light, as if holding fragments of past decades. Form and detail interact here without unnecessary embellishment, letting the materials tell their own story. The armchairs can be paired with a minimalist sofa in plain upholstery or a low coffee table in light wood to highlight their distinctive silhouette. They would suit geometric rugs or matte graphite walls, which enhance the rhythm of the upholstery pattern. Consider combining them with a lamp featuring a brass base or ceramic accents in warm tones to create a space that draws from both mid-century tradition and contemporary trends. In a collector's setting, they may serve as a
