B36P Armchair Bauhaus in Chrome Tubular Steel, Czechoslovakia

A rare B36P type armchair in tubular steel associated with Anton Lorenz, dating from 1930 and originating from Czechoslovakia. The armchair represents the Bauhaus and functionalist approach to early tubular steel furniture, combining a streamlined chrome steel frame with sculptural wooden armrests and a padded seat and backrest. The construction closely matches the B36P model associated with Anton Lorenz and Thonet. Reference examples identify the B36P as a design by Anton Lorenz produced by Thonet, while related tubular steel designs and furniture were produced by several manufacturers during this period. The original floral upholstery offers an unusual decorative contrast with the architectural geometry of the chrome tubular frame. The wooden armrests add warmth and visual balance.
