Born 1903 in Koryčany, Czechia, Jindrich Halabala brought mass market production of furniture to Czechoslovakia. He grew up training to become a cabinetmaker at his father’s joinery workshop before entering the state-owned woodworking school in Valašské Meziříčí in 1920. Halabala's designs drew from Czech cubism, Art Deco & classic European mid-century modern & included chairs, tables, sideboards, lamps & more. Due to his contribution to & excellence in furniture & interior design, the Czech Republic now host an annual award in his name. Our pair of Jindrich Halabala armchairs were made during the 1940's & have since been fully refurbished in a beautiful teal plush velvet. These items are rare & unique & are for purchase as a pair only. We have the chairs on display in our Parsons Green showroom in London if you wish to view prior to purchase.
