Vintage swivel armchair Zefir, Hungary (1960) in Platonic Love velvet

With its industrial silhouette and sturdy swivel base, the Zefir armchair embodies the utilitarian rigor of mid-century Eastern European design. Yet beneath its functional bones lies a bold new skin — Platonic Love, a velvet of rhythmic geometry and soft power, transforming the chair into a tactile landscape. This chair brings together strong metal and soft velvet, creating a contrast and balance that fits both styled homes and bold public spaces. Reupholstered by VLAdiLA for Retros Gallery, it gives a vintage piece new life. The palette showcases bold black-and-white contrasts, intersected by rhythmic lines, bringing a sense of visual cadence. A vision where Bauhaus clarity meets soft modern romanticism—subtle, sculptural, and striking from every angle. Designer: Unknown. Manufacturer: Zefir. Origin: Hungary. Period: 1960s.
