ABOUT PRODUCTID 10165
This throne-like armchair from 1980s Czechoslovakia exemplifies postmodern design, characterized by strong color contrasts and an architectural silhouette. The frame is constructed from plywood finished in a deep, saturated green stain, allowing the natural wood grain to remain visible and lending an organic texture to the otherwise bold form. The seat, armrests, and tall, two-part backrest are upholstered in thick, mustard-yellow fabric with a matte finish and a subtle hexagonal pattern. The design is marked by rectilinear lines, oversized armrests, and visible metal bolts on the sides, underscoring the honest construction and industrial accent typical of Memphis-inspired aesthetics. Monumental proportions—with a high back and substantial armrests—create a distinct sense of presence and authority. The condition is described as very good, with only minimal signs of use on the upholstery and no visible damage or repairs.The form of this chair tells the story of the 1980s, an era when bold design choices became a statement of personality and a break from tradition. The green frame and yellow upholstery engage in a visual dialogue, evoking the energy of postmodern experimentation and the geometric influences of the Memphis Group. Exposed bolts and construction details speak to material honesty and a spirit of transparent innovation. The chair seems to whisper: “Design is not about compromise, but about playful competition between color and form for your attention.”This piece can serve as the focal point in a living room, whether in a postmodern collector’s interior or an eclectic 1980s-inspired space. It could be paired with minimalist metal or glass side tables to highlight its bold form. Geometric rugs, Memphis-style graphic art, or sculptural, colorful lamps would provide complementary accents.
