The Halabala recliner, 1931

Jindrich Halabala – one of the most important Czech furniture designers – worked between 1930 and 1946 as head designer for the renowned UP manufacturing company in Brno. In 1931, Halabala introduced a series of five wooden armchairs, all with the same streamlined, looped armrests and base but with five different types of seats and backrests (four adjustable and one fixed).

The first one reissued under exclusive licence by Modernista 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. The price of the basic version is 890 eur.
