Morris Beech Armchair, Art & Craft, England - 1920

The Morris armchair in stained beech from the 1920s is an emblematic piece of the art & craft era, originating in England.
This armchair, with its refined, functional design, perfectly embodies the spirit of the movement initiated by William Morris (1834-1896), writer, poet and architect, whose works profoundly influenced Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
Made from stained beech, this armchair is not only robust, but also elegant.
The flat armrests are finely slatted, adding a touch of sophistication to the ensemble.
The backrest can be reclined in four positions thanks to an ingenious rack-and-pinion system.
What's more, the footrest can be folded away under the seat, offering optimum comfort and flexibility of use.
Dressed in an almond-colored velvet fabric, the chair is also adorned with decorative studs, underlining its luxurious, timeless character.
William Morris, a central figure in the art & craft movement, has always advocated the alliance of art and craft.
This armchair is a perfect example of this philosophy, combining aesthetics and functionality.
Morris has helped redefine the standards of interior design, emphasizing quality materials and craftsmanship.
In short, the Morris stained beech armchair from the 1920s is much more than just a piece of furniture, for as Morris liked to say, "Have nothing in your homes that you don't know is useful or that you don't consider beautiful".
