Description from the seller
Pair of Mid-Century Modern Spinning Armchairs – Sleek 20th Century Design
Overview: Retro-Futuristic Elegance
Bring a touch of Mid-Century sophistication to your interior with this striking pair of spinning armchairs. Dating from the second half of the 20th century, these chairs combine the iconic "Space Age" aesthetic with the practical comfort of a swivel mechanism. Their bold, rounded silhouettes and high-gloss finish make them a perfect statement piece for a contemporary lounge, a private library, or a creative studio.
Design & Functionality
The Silhouette: These chairs feature an ergonomic, wrap-around design that provides excellent lumbar support and a sense of "enveloped" comfort.
Mechanism: Both chairs are equipped with a smooth spinning (snurrbara) mechanism, allowing for 360-degree movement—ideal for open-plan living spaces.
Finish: The frames are lacquered (lackerade), giving them a sleek, reflective surface that highlights their curved geometry.
Precise Dimensions
Total Height: 93 cm
Width: 76 cm
Seat Height: approx. 44 cm
With a width of 76 cm, these chairs offer a generous and comfortable seating area without overwhelming the room.
Condition Report: Authentic Vintage Appeal
These armchairs are offered in their original vintage condition, showing the honest character of their era:
General Wear: The chairs show "normal wear and tear" consistent with use in the late 20th century.
Frames: There are visible scratches and marks on the lacquered surfaces, which add to their authentic retro charm.
Upholstery: The fabric is intact but please note that minor spots may appear. As with all high-quality vintage seating, a light professional cleaning would further enhance their appearance.
Why Bid on This Pair?
Pairs of matching swivel chairs from this era are highly sought after by interior designers. They offer a rare combination of sculptural beauty and daily functionality. Whether you keep them in their original vintage state or choose to reupholster them in a bold velvet or leather, they represent a high-quality investment in 20th-century furniture design.
