ABOUT PRODUCTID 15128
This set of four chairs, designed by Antonín Šuman for Tatra Nabytok in 1960s Czechoslovakia, exemplifies the thoughtful principles of mid-century modern design. The construction features bent plywood and solid oak, with backrests finished in a warm, medium oak stain that highlights the wood grain and subtle gloss. The signature keyhole cutout in the backrest introduces a sculptural, airy quality. Tapered solid wood legs, finished in a lighter honey oak with a satin sheen, accentuate the elegant, lightweight profile. The seats are upholstered in high-quality, dark gray fabric with a gently textured weave, creating a refined contrast to the wooden elements. Joinery is visible and meticulously crafted, with no external hardware, emphasizing the attention to detail. The set is restored: surfaces have been carefully cleaned and refinished, upholstery replaced, and there are no signs of wear or damage. These chairs seem to tell the story of an era when functionality merged seamlessly with organic forms, and simplicity arose from respect for authentic materials. The gentle arc of the backrest and the keyhole cutout evoke the architectural influences of 1960s Central European design, a time when Czechoslovakian creativity sought a modern yet approachable language. Each detail—from the soft profile of the legs to the balanced silhouette—reflects a deep trust in craftsmanship and a quest for longevity that defined the spirit of the age. This set can be paired with a simple light wood dining table or a minimalist table with a metal base to highlight the interplay of materials. The chairs are well suited to bright, contemporary dining spaces in
