Budapest Fauteuil

Description

An antique chair from the Art Deco period found in Budapest was the basis for the Budapest Fauteuil design. Art Deco was an influential visual arts design style that first appeared in France just before World War I and began flourishing internationally from the 1920s thru the 40s. It took its name from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) held in Paris in 1925. It was an eclectic style that combined traditional craft motifs with Machine Age imagery and materials. The style was often characterized by rich colors and bold geometric shapes. The Art Deco movement flourished during the interwar years when rapid industrialization was transforming culture. One of its major attributes was an embrace of technology. It has been defined as an assertively modern style that emphasizes symmetry rather than asymmetry, and the rectilinear rather than the curvilinear. During its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.

With its understated European style elegance and robust metal construction, the Budapest Fauteuil makes an exceptional accent chair in upscale residential and hospitality interiors. The seat cushion has 8-way hand-tied springs which will not sag even after decades of use. This exquisite chair is upholstered in COM and offered in a variety of finishes. Four nylon glides are provided. It can also be made as a loveseat. Custom sizing is available. Designed by Shah Gilani, ISFD.
