Art Deco: Round Chair

The Art Deco style came into Bombay in the 1920s and stems from a fascination with movement and speed characteristic to transportation of the Machine Age.

The bold form and clean ribbed lines of the cushioned back of this chair evokes a sense of dynamism. The wooden base of the armless chair is akin to a stool or an ottoman, and its fan-shaped flared back is typical of the Art Deco style.
