Karel Koželka & Antonín Kropáček re-upholstered bentwood Armchairs, Czechia 1940We offer re-upholstered Karel Koželka & Antonín Kropáček bentwood armchairs, originally designed in Czechia circa 1940. These iconic chairs are a benchmark for midcentury design in Central Europe, boasting a simple and elegant geometry contrasted by dynamic bentwood elements and a soft, comfortable seat. Drawing inspiration from modernism, Karel Koželka & Antonín Kropáček created a distinctive aesthetic that is dynamic, streamlined, and humanistic, making them ideal for inviting and functional domestic spaces. Although there may be some patina on the wood parts, we have many of these armchairs available (some even in their original upholstery) which would be perfect for interior projects such as a lounge or hotel. Opting for used mid-century design promotes sustainability by reusing what is already available. In fact, some furniture can have a second, third, or even fourth life. Mid-century design furniture is often high-quality and built to last, which is why it can have a rich history that is still visible or tangible through any signs of wear and tear.
