About the Item

A striking and highly collectible Art Deco lounge chair by Jindřich Halabala, designed in the 1940s in former Czechoslovakia—an iconic example of Czech modernism that seamlessly blends sculptural form with luxurious comfort. Multiple chairs available — ideal for large-scale residential, hospitality, or architectural projects. This chair is part of a rare larger group of 12+ pieces, offering a unique opportunity for interior designers and architects to create cohesive, high-impact interiors while maintaining individuality across each piece. The design is immediately recognizable by Halabala’s signature bent beechwood arms—fluid, architectural lines that wrap around the body in a continuous, elegant gesture. The wood has developed a rich, warm patina over time, adding depth, character, and authenticity that only decades of age can achieve. Newly upholstered in premium Icelandic sheepskin, the chair offers an inviting tactile experience. The long, soft fibers create a luxurious, organic surface with natural tonal variation ranging from creamy ivory to subtle champagne hues. Each chair is inherently one of a kind. The natural variation in the Icelandic sheepskin—combined with the uniquely aged patina of the bentwood frame—results in subtle differences in tone, texture, and character, ensuring that no two chairs are exactly alike. Visually bold yet refined, this piece functions equally as a sculptural statement and a supremely comfortable lounge chair. The deep seat and gently reclined back provide excellent comfort, making it ideal for luxury residential interiors, boutique hotels, and curated hospitality environments. Halabala’s designs continue to gain strong international demand among collectors and leading designers, making this not only a standout interior piece but also a solid long-term collectible. Why This Piece Stands Out • Iconic Halabala design — sculptural and instantly recognizable • Upholstered in premium Icelandic sheepskin • Beautifully aged bentwood with rich, authentic patina • Strong visual presence combined with excellent comfort • Rare availability in quantity — ideal for designers and projects Details Creator: Jindřich Halabala Origin: Czech Republic Date of Manufacture: circa 1940 Period: Mid-20th Century Materials: Bent beechwood, Icelandic sheepskin Condition: Excellent — professionally reupholstered; wear consistent with age and use Sold As: Single Chair Availability: 12+ chairs available Dimensions Height: 35.44 in (90 cm) Width: 26.78 in (68 cm) Depth: 35.44 in (90 cm) Seat Height: 17.72 in (45 cm) Shipping & Handling We provide professional packing and worldwide shipping.

An iconic 1940s Halabala lounge chair, newly upholstered in rich Dutch sheepskin, combining sculptural bentwood craftsmanship with deep, luxurious texture. A rare opportunity to source a larger matching group—ideal for high-end residential or hospitality projects. DESCRIPTION This exceptional lounge chair, designed by Jindřich Halabala in 1940s Czechoslovakia, is a refined example of early European modernist design, distinguished by its sculptural form and elegant proportions. The frame is executed in beautifully bent beechwood, showcasing the mastery of traditional curved wood construction. The continuous armrests sweep seamlessly into the legs, creating a fluid, architectural silhouette that places the design in dialogue with Scandinavian and Viennese modernist traditions. The wood has developed a rich, warm patina over time, enhancing the authenticity and vintage character of the piece. The chair has been newly reupholstered in premium Dutch sheepskin in a deep, natural brown tone. This material offers a dense, soft texture and a rich visual depth, adding warmth and contrast to the bentwood frame. The darker palette gives the chair a more grounded and sophisticated presence, particularly suited to refined interiors. Each sheepskin is unique, with natural variations in tone and structure. With its generous proportions and inviting form, this chair serves both as a statement piece and as highly comfortable seating, ideal for high-end residential interiors, boutique hospitality environments, or curated architectural projects. The price includes the Dutch sheepskin upholstery and professional reupholstery. PROJECT / AVAILABILITY A total of 24 chairs are available, priced individually.
