Jindrich Halabala Recliner
Jindrich Halabala is one of the most important Czech furniture designers
of the 1930s worked between 1925 and 1955 as head of design for the
country's leading furniture manufacturer, the Brno based UP.
In 1931,
Halabala introduced a series of five armchairs, all with the same
streamlined, looped armrests and base but with five different types of
seats and backrests (four adjustable and one fixed). More than 70 years
on, the armchairs have become classics of Czech Modernism. Even though
mass produced throughout the 1930s, the original pieces are
increasingly difficult to find.
To prevent such excellent design from
disappearing altogether, Modernista has secured the rights to reissue
the armchair and other Halabala pieces. The first product in
Modernista's Halabala range is the double action model with a 3-way
adjustable base and backrest.The frame is made of solid beech wood,
cushions for the basic version are of good quality polyurethane foam
covered in simple, locally produced chenille fabric, and all metal
parts are stainless steel.
The wood in the basic version is left
natural or stained and sealed with lacquer. However, as the armchairs
are made to order, customers have a wide range of other options. Frames
can be stained, lacquered in colours or veneered in any wood while
cushions can be made of more durable materials or can be sprung. The
price of the basic version is 650 eur. Extras Lacquering Frames can be
lacquered in any colour and finished in satin or high gloss. The
additional cost is 100 eur and 135 eur respectively. Veneering Frames
can be veneered in any wood available.
We are happy to use veneers
supplied by customers who want to achieve a complete match with the
rest of an interior. Veneers vary greatly in price so the final price
will also range from approx. 275 eur to 330 eur. Upholstering The
quality and durability of the cushions increase with the quality of the
materials used. For 100 eur extra we can make the cushions of with a 20
year manufacturer's guarantee or insert a springbox inside the cushion
for even greater durability.
