ABOUT PRODUCTID 20191
This pouf, designed by Jindřich Halabala in 1950s Czechoslovakia, exemplifies Central European mid-century modern craftsmanship. The structure consists of petal-like segments separated by pronounced piping, evoking the form of a tulip. Upholstered in original wool, the surface features a muted olive green tone with a subtle, light beige floral pattern; the fabric is matte, textured, and slightly coarse to the touch. Central tufting on the seat enhances the rounded, inviting silhouette, while small, dark wooden legs are nearly concealed beneath the body, lending a sense of visual lightness. The authenticity of the piece is reflected in its original fabric and detailed construction. Condition: well preserved for its age, with minor signs of use typical of vintage furniture.This pouf speaks softly of postwar Europe, when design was intended to bring joy and comfort to daily life. The tulip-inspired shape, the tactile wool, and the floral motif evoke a desire for harmony with nature and the simple pleasures sought by people of the 1950s. Each segment and length of piping is a testament to the era's attention to detail and the sense of domestic warmth—like a quiet narrative of skilled craftsmanship and postwar optimism.A mid-century modern interior will welcome this piece as a standalone accent or as part of a larger arrangement with other period seating. The pouf may be paired with a sofa of clean lines, a low wooden coffee table, and textiles with bold or subtle weaves. It can be combined with accessories in warm tones, and in a vintage collector’s setting, it will provide a gentle counterpoint to geometric furniture or slender-legged lamps.
