Jindřich Halabala (1903 - 1978) ARMCHAIR H-269 AND STOOL

The H-269 armchair is one of Jindřich Halabala’s most famous designs for the United Arts and Crafts Works in Brno. Thanks to its elegant shape and comfort, the armchair has become a design icon of interior design from the Czech Functionalist period. Jindřich Halabala’s “Tulip” footstool represents the designer’s iconic style. The soft, vertically segmented sides converge at a central button, creating a silhouette reminiscent of a blossoming flower. It is one of Halabala’s most poetic designs. Completely restored.
