ULUV rattan armchair by Alan Fuchs, Czechoslovakia, 1960s

The armchair features a seat and backrest made of hand-woven natural rattan mounted on a black-painted tubular metal frame. Its open construction, organic contours, and the combination of natural rattan with industrial metal make it a distinctive example of mid-century Czechoslovak modern furniture design. The generously curved rattan shell offers both visual lightness and seating comfort. The black metal base follows a simple geometric construction, creating a strong contrast with the warm, natural hue of the woven rattan. The design is documented as a model by Alan Fuchs/ULUV from the 1960s, with comparable examples described as part of the development of modern Czechoslovak rattan furniture.
