Vintage Armchairs & Designer Armchairs – Original Design Classics

Discover carefully selected vintage armchairs and designer armchairs from the 20th century at Chairclassics. Our collection includes original design classics and rare designs by renowned designers and European manufacturers – from Bauhaus and Mid-Century Modern to Scandinavian design and characteristic armchairs from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.

Every vintage armchair is carefully checked by us for originality, condition, and quality. High-quality leather, special fabrics, solid woods, and steel or chrome constructions characterize many of these designs. The focus is on armchairs that combine exceptional design, craftsmanship, and high seating comfort.

Vintage Designer Armchairs with Character

An original designer armchair is far more than just a seat. Characteristic shapes, high-quality materials, and innovative constructions make many vintage armchairs timeless design objects. As a solitaire in the living area, as a pair opposite a sofa, or as part of a lounge, they lend personality and individuality to modern as well as classic interiors.

Our changing assortment ranges from elegant vintage lounge chairs and classic leather armchairs to Scandinavian wooden armchairs and cantilever chairs, and sculptural designs from the 1960s and 1970s. Among them are design classics from renowned manufacturers and designers such as de Sede, Cassina, B&B Italia, Poltrona Frau, Wilkhahn, and Arne Norell, as well as rare models from lesser-known European manufacturers.

Original Vintage Armchairs Instead of Reproductions

At Chairclassics, originality, authenticity, and quality are paramount. We deal in original vintage furniture, not modern reproductions of historical designs. A natural patina and subtle signs of wear can be part of an armchair's history and underline its individual character.

Selected pieces are professionally restored or reupholstered with high-quality materials as needed, while preserving the original design. We transparently document the condition, materials, designer, manufacturer, and special features in the respective product descriptions.
