Pair of 1950s Knoll Antimott cherry wood armchairs

A light cherry wood frame, slim armrests, and a powder blue upholstery define this pair of Knoll Antimott armchairs, an expression of the taste for light and functional furniture widespread in mid-twentieth-century Europe. The design leaves ample space between the various elements, highlighting the woodwork and the distinctive angle of the legs.

The slightly curved armrests extend outwards and connect to the rear uprights, while the tapered legs support an upholstered seat with regular shapes. The backrest features a tufted (capitonné) design with covered buttons, a subtle decorative detail that adds texture to the fabric surface.

Knoll Antimott is a name linked to German furniture production in the post-World War II period, particularly appreciated for seating and furnishings characterized by light wooden structures and functional construction solutions. These armchairs retain some of the distinctive elements of that production, such as the open design of the armrests and the attention to the continuity between the various parts of the frame.

The two armchairs can be used together to create a small conversation area or placed separately in a living room, study, or bedroom. The lacquered cherry wood, with its warm and luminous tone, pairs easily with contemporary materials, while the blue upholstery introduces a delicate note of color.
