ABOUT PRODUCTID 6565
The Papageno armchair pair, designed by Jan Armgardt for Leolux in 1996, exemplifies Dutch postmodernism of the 1990s. Each chair is defined by an organic, flowing silhouette with strongly rounded, biomorphic contours. The upholstery is made of alcantara in two vivid shades: one in vibrant turquoise-green, the other in deep blue, providing a pleasant, matte, suede-like texture. A distinctive feature of the design is the polished aluminum legs, shaped into stylized bird feet with a glossy finish, creating a striking contrast with the matte seating surfaces. The armchairs have seamless construction, with no visible joins or stitching, giving a cohesive and robust appearance. The manufacturer's signature confirms their authenticity. Both chairs are in very good condition, showing no signs of wear or restoration, and retaining their original materials and finishes.Papageno tells the story of an era where experimentation and irony became the language of design. Their forms, freely moving between surrealism and playfulness, evoke the spirit of the 1990s—a time when bold gestures and color took precedence over solemnity. In the rounded lines and 'avian' legs, echoes of Salvador Dalí's work can be heard, while the matte alcantara and fluid profile whisper of a longing for freedom from convention. These are pieces that, like postmodern actors, invite interaction, a sense of humor, and openness to the unexpected.Papageno can be paired with a minimalist coffee table in glass or metal to accentuate the sculptural shape of the chairs. They work well in a living room inspired by eclectic postmodernism or contemporary collector interiors, where their intense colors provide a counterpoint to a neutral base. One might combine them with a geometric rug or select bold artistic accents, as well as a lamp
