Zentner Collection: Antique Japanese Tansu, Asian Works of Art
Pair of vintage 1930's syled bamboo armchairs by Palecek reflects the Japanese-influenced design sensibilities of the 1930s—a period marked by simplicity of form, honesty of materials, and harmony with nature. The clean lines, open framework, and curved edges echo traditional Japanese furniture ideals, while the rattan binding and looped seat structure add a warm, tactile presence.
Designed by Palecek, the San Francisco-based firm known for merging global craft traditions with contemporary forms, these chairs embody a timeless fusion of East and West. The chairs' gently sloping arms and vertical backrest slats are reminiscent of taishō and early shōwa-period Japanese seating, adapted for modern functionality.
In excellent condition, complete and ready for use. These chairs offer both visual lightness and structural integrity—perfect for interiors that embrace natural textures and serene, uncluttered style.
