This set of four chairs, designed by Antonin Suman for TON in 1960s Czechoslovakia, exemplifies mature Central European mid-century modernism. Crafted from solid wood and finished with a satin lacquer in a warm honey-walnut tone, the grain remains visible, lending a natural texture and refined smoothness without excessive gloss. The seats are upholstered in a high-quality, matte charcoal-black fabric, creating a subtle contrast with the warmth of the wood. The proportions are carefully balanced: the backrests are broad and gently rounded with vertical slats, while the legs are tapered and splayed for both lightness and stability. Joinery is precise and discreet, with no visible hardware. The set has undergone comprehensive restoration by specialist craftsmen, resulting in excellent condition with no visible traces of wear or repair.
These chairs tell the story of postwar Czechoslovakia, when functional modernism gained a more humane, approachable aspect. Their design speaks in the language of the 1960s: restrained yet never severe, imbued with softness and balance. The rounded lines and open slatted backs seem to invite shared meals and conversation, while the understated interplay of black and brown evokes images of family gatherings—objects that have preserved the spirit of their era while remaining relevant today.
The set could be paired with a simple mid-century veneered dining table to highlight its heritage, or combined with minimalist accessories—a glass vase, a geometric lamp, or a monochrome rug—for a balanced
