This set of two original armchairs by Robert Slezak represents a striking example of 1930s Czech design. The chairs feature a distinctive cantilevered silhouette, combining industrial materials with traditional craftsmanship.
The construction pairs a continuous tubular chrome frame with solid beech wood elements, finished in a vibrant orange hue. The seat and backrest are formed from woven rattan, providing both visual lightness and structural support. The cantilever design, a hallmark of the modernist movement, offers a slight flex for enhanced comfort. These chairs were produced in the Czech Republic during the 1930s, reflecting the era's innovative approach to furniture manufacturing.
The chairs remain in fully functional condition, displaying character consistent with their age and history. The original orange finish on the beech wood shows significant patina, revealing the natural wood beneath in areas of frequent contact. Original rattan string in very well preserved condition, professionally cleaned chrome.
These armchairs serve as compelling accent pieces in both contemporary and vintage-inspired interiors. Their bold colour and classic modernist form make them suitable for a home office, a reading corner, or as distinctive side chairs in a living space.
