ABOUT PRODUCTID 10087
This set of four upholstered chairs, designed by Antonin Šuman for Tatra Nabytok and produced in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, represents the essence of Central European modernism with a distinct mid-century modern identity. The construction features slender, slightly tapered legs in a deep, almost black-brown tone, contrasting with the light, honey-coloured oak veneer that highlights the expressive wood grain. The wide, arching open-backrest—a signature of Šuman's work—lends the chairs a sense of lightness and visual transparency. Seats are newly upholstered in a matte light grey fabric, subtly emphasizing the design’s restraint and harmonizing with the natural wood. Attention to detail is evident in the smoothly rounded seat edges and seamless joints, while the balanced proportions ensure comfort in use. The set has undergone comprehensive restoration and remains in excellent condition, with no visible traces of wear or damage.The silhouette of these chairs tells the story of the 1960s, when design valued both practicality and weightlessness. The arched backrests seem to welcome light into the room, while the matte grey upholstery speaks of the moderation and balance characteristic of Central European modernism. The veneer’s detail reflects artisanal precision, and the open construction expresses the period’s spirit, where furniture was meant to participate in the space rather than dominate it. The overall impression is one of calm and equilibrium, true to an era where function was always guided by a refined sense of form.These chairs can be paired with a straight-lined wooden table in a dining room or living space inspired by the
