Very rare Armchair by Architect Joze Plecnik 1932/1980s

Very rare armchair designed by the slovenian architect joze pecnik (1872-1957) in 1932 for the residence of the prelovsek family. Most likely this particular chair is produced by stol kamnik 1980s. Joze plecnik had a major impact on the modern architecture of vienna, prague and ljubljana. His idiosyncratic style is associated with the vienna secession style of architecture, but he also has influences from the baroque tradition in slovenia, as well as byzantine and early eighteenth century viennese architecture. Plečnik was one of the few notable modernists who did not entirely reject historic forms and ideas, instead paying what he believed to be a debt to history in his designs. He studied under noted viennese architect and educator otto wagner and worked in wagner's architecture office until 1900. The chair is made of black stained solid oak wood with circular inserts in light wood. The seat is newly reupholstered with a dark red velvet fabric. This collectible chair is in good condition with some traces of wear, which give the chair a lovely patina. The chair is sturdy and ready for use.
