Two armchairs with a typical 1960s Brussels-style design embody the essence of socialist modernism. Characterized by clean lines, straight edges, and angled armrests that echo the aesthetics of functionalism, the chairs also feature conical wooden legs, low seats, and wide cushions—providing comfort for leisure and relaxation.
During the 1960s, centralized production and the growth of the furniture industry made modern furnishings increasingly accessible to everyday households. These and similar chairs became a staple of living room sets in apartments built under the so-called “new housing construction” schemes. Although they were mass-produced, today these chairs are seen as retro classics and are often lovingly restored to their original condition.
