This pair of chairs, designed by Antonín Šuman for Tatra Nábytok Pravenec in Czechoslovakia and dating from 1960–1965, exemplifies the organic forms of mid-century modern design. The structure is crafted from solid wood, finished in a deep, dark brown tone with a satin sheen and prominent grain. The outward-splayed legs provide both stability and a sense of visual lightness. Both seat and backrest are generously padded and upholstered in a matte, subtly textured fabric in a neutral, cool grey shade. The backrest features a distinctive horseshoe arch with a central cut-out—a hallmark of Šuman’s style, balancing comfort and visual identity. All joints are meticulously constructed with no visible hardware, attesting to the quality of craftsmanship. The chairs have been fully restored, showing no signs of wear or repair. These chairs echo the voice of the 1960s—a period when modernity engaged with the Central European tradition of fine craftsmanship. Their rounded lines and arched backs evoke the mood of mid-century living rooms, where design quietly served daily life yet retained its character. The interplay of wood and grey fabric tells a story of material harmony and function, while the signature cut-out in the backrest seems to invite conversation over coffee in an atmosphere of understated elegance.
