1950’s Jaroslav Smídek Original Armchair

1950s Jaroslav Šmídek Original Armchair — Beautifully Restored & Reupholstered
This exceptional 1950s Jaroslav Šmídek armchair embodies the elegance and innovation of mid-century Czech design. Expertly restored from the frame up, the chair retains its original sculptural silhouette, showcasing Šmídek’s iconic tapered legs, refined proportions, and light, airy construction that made his work so sought-after.
The wooden frame features its original varnished finish, preserved to maintain its authenticity. The gentle aged patina brings warmth and depth, adding character that only decades of careful use can create. This natural ageing complements the fresh upholstery, making the piece feel both storied and contemporary.
Reupholstered in a vintage-inspired geometric fabric, the chair marries classic craftsmanship with a modern twist. The bold yet tasteful pattern enhances the chair’s architectural form, adding visual interest while honouring its mid-century roots. Every detail—from the preserved timber finish to the meticulously tailored upholstery—reflects our commitment to thoughtful, high-quality restoration.
A true design statement, this armchair offers both comfort and collectible beauty. Perfect for modern interiors that appreciate timeless craftsmanship, it stands as a striking example of Šmídek’s contribution to European modernism.
A rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of 1950s design history, lovingly restored and ready to be enjoyed for decades to come.
