Jaroslav Šmídek Lounge chair

A Czech Mid-Century Design Icon Originally crafted in the 1960s, this Czech vintage armchair reflects the refined craftsmanship and minimalist aesthetics of European modernist design. Designed by Czech designer Jaroslav Smidek and produced by TON, it features a sculptural wooden frame, tapered legs, and a distinctive cantilever structure that creates a light and architectural silhouette. Restored & Reimagined for Modern Living More than a simple restoration, this armchair has been thoughtfully renewed to enhance both aesthetics and everyday comfort while preserving its original character. The timeless wooden structure is carefully restored, while the overall seating experience is adapted for contemporary living. Textured Faux Mohair Upholstery The seat and backrest have been reupholstered in plush velvet-finish Faux Mohair, featuring a rich texture and full appearance that resists flattening. The soft surface creates a warm contrast with the deep wood frame, adding depth and sophistication to the design. Enhanced Comfort & Versatile Style The interior cushioning has been replaced with high-resilience foam to improve support and seating comfort while maintaining the original structure. With its sculptural form and relaxed feel, this restored classic brings authentic Czech vintage character to living rooms, reading corners, and quiet spaces.
