Description

This pair of armchairs was designed by Karel Koželka and Antonín Kropáček in the 1950s under the Interiér Praha brand. Their precise construction, combined with soft curves, gently contoured armrests, and a delicate frame, reveals a strong influence of Scandinavian modernism—yet infused with a distinctly Czech emphasis on proportion, function, and poetic detail.

Equally intriguing is their color—a textured blend of warm brown and beige tones that exudes both elegance and subtlety. The upholstery features a fine, almost graphic pattern reminiscent of natural textiles, perhaps evoking a slightly mottled linen effect.
These armchairs are the very embodiment of the poetic vision of Czech modernism in the 1950s.
