This iconic pair of "Type C" armchairs was designed by the visionary architect and designer Jindřich Halabala during the 1930s for the renowned UP Závody factory. A seminal figure in 20th-century Czechoslovak design, Halabala successfully bridged the gap between artisanal Art Deco aesthetics and modern industrial production. These chairs are defined by their elegant, sweeping bentwood armrests, which serve as a masterclass in geometric form and mid-war furniture innovation.
The chairs are currently in original condition, showcasing an authentic vintage patina on the wooden frames—please see pictures for comprehensive details regarding the finish and current state. They serve as a structural, sturdy, and highly desirable base for a professional refurbishment. Whether restored to their historical specifications or updated with a modern fabric, these pieces retain an architectural quality that makes them a true investment for any serious collection.
They are perfectly suited for an Art Deco home, a mid-century interior, or a designer office seeking a unique, sculptural focal point.
