Transitional Hungarian armchair (Art Deco period), 1930s

A distinctive Hungarian chaise longue from the 1930s, representing the transition between the last Art Deco and the beginning of modernist design. Made from solid oak, this piece combines traditional craftsmanship with emerging modern proportions, evident in its compact yet exceptionally wide seat format and refined structural balance. The frame has been carefully refreshed with a traditional French polish, highlighting the natural grain and depth of the oak while preserving its original character. The chair has been fully upholstered with a thoughtful composition of materials. The generously proportioned seat is covered in a thick Italian jacquard fabric from Minotti, offering both durability and a rich textile presence. The backrest is upholstered in high-quality Belgian boucle, adding a tactile contrast and soft visual volume. The rear side is finished with a decorative nail trim, reinforcing its architectural and artisanal identity. The turned front legs and the detail of the crossed stretcher reflect traditional woodworking from Central Europe, while the overall silhouette already leans towards a more understated modern lounge typology. A rare and highly characteristic vintage piece, combining late 1930s Hungarian design with contemporary high-quality upholstery.
