Product description
This rare pair of lounge armchairs is a defining masterpiece of European Art Deco and early modernist design, created by the legendary Czech designer Jindřich Halabala for UP Závody. Known as the Type C model, these chairs are celebrated for their dramatic, fluid silhouette and pioneering woodwork. The sweeping, continuous loop of the steam-bent wooden armrests showcases the incredible craftsmanship and forward-thinking engineering that made Halabala’s work globally influential during the 1930s.
With their bold visual rhythm and sculptural presence, this pair serves as a spectacular design anchor. They offer an exceptional opportunity for collectors or designers looking to commission a custom upholstery project that perfectly aligns with a high-end vintage or contemporary interior layout.
Condition & Character (2026)
The pair is presented in vintage condition, explicitly offered as an authentic base for a complete refurbishment project.
Structure & Woodwork: The integrity of the solid, steam-bent wood handles and structural frame elements remains intact, providing an excellent foundation for restoration. However, please note that the wooden armrests show heavy signs of use, including significant finish thinning, deep scuffs, and surface wear consistent with their age.
Upholstery: The current textile coverings and underlying padding are vintage and exhibit heavy wear, fading, and deterioration.
Inspection: This pair is being sold specifically for refurbishment. To properly evaluate the raw condition of the frames and the outstanding potential of this rare pair, please review the detailed photos carefully.
