Description

French Art Deco furniture continues to fascinate today with its particular sophistication and elegance. An innovative representative of this era was Charles Dudouyt, who created special high-quality designs with his Parisian atelier "La Gentilhommière." Notable in this interesting armchair are the armrests made of stretched fabric. The bright yellow fabric, which also adorns the seat and backrest, particularly emphasizes the elegant appearance of the modernist seating furniture.

Historical Context

Art Déco: The Art Déco style followed on from Art Nouveau and developed significantly between the two world wars - a key moment and at the same time the eponym was the "Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes" in Paris in 1925, which made Paris the starting point of the style movement. Art Deco established a new decorative and elegant style that was characterized by strongly geometric forms, an expressive choice of colours and materials and extravagance. Decorative objects and interiors were often characterized by a symmetrical, two-dimensional and organic motif concept. In Europe and the USA, independent aesthetic versions of the style emerged, such as the luxurious French Art Deco or Streamline Modernism in the USA. However, the Amsterdam School was also heavily influenced by Art Deco style elements.
