More about the designer:

Jindrich Halabala (1903-1978) was a renowned designer credited with ushering in the mass market production of furniture in his native Czechoslovakia.

His most iconic armchair designs: The H series; were designed in between the World Wars. His use of tubular steel, in some of his designs, went on to inspire countless interior designers and architects throughout the 20th century and beyond.

His designs can now be found in collections of institutions like the Museum of Art in Olomouc and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Today, Czechia issues an annual award in his name for excellence in furniture and interior design.
