When were art deco-style sofas first designed?
The art deco style was first introduced in France in the early 20th century. Today, it’s far more associated with the glamour of Hollywood’s golden years in the 1920s and 30s. Characterised by curved lines and luxurious materials like leather and velvet, our selection of art deco sofas shows off the best of this dazzling age. Browse our entire selection or search by style, material, and colour to narrow your choices down. We’ve got 1930s sofas from well-known designers like the Epstein brothers, and Greaves and Thomas. Plus, the great thing about art deco couches is how many options you have. Very often, they were produced in monochrome colour palettes, so they’re easy to assimilate into an existing room or colour scheme, but at the same time, they’re so striking and stylish, you could build an entire room from scratch around one. Pair with an art deco stool for a cohesive look.
Or why not start with a 1920s style drinks cabinet, plus all the vintage barware and silverware you need to become an expert mixologist?
1930s sofa styles to explore
While 1930s sofas exuded the excesses and flamboyance of the art deco era, other sofa style captured the functionality of the decade. Heavy lines, classic symmetry, and repeating patterns were popular in 1930s furniture, and sofas were no exception. The Bauhaus design movement took hold in the 1930s and veered away from the outlandish extravagance of art deco embellishments. Instead, sofas were stripped down to their necessary elements and pared back to create simpler shapes. Fluid curves, chrome and steel, and bentwood were features of the movement. Tubular steel armrests and frames introduced metallics into sofa design. Teak, while still favoured, wasn’t the automatic go-to for sofa designers. Thonet and Robert Slezak paired their chrome frames with bold primary colour leather and fabrics to bring something new to the masses. These iterations are still massively popular today.
Why buy a 1930s sofa?
The 1930s was a decade that embraced excess. The First World War had ended and the second wasn’t yet predicted. Consumers were eager for well-built functional pieces that looked beautiful. This is the philosophy of homeowners and contemporary interior designers today. Rather than purchasing a mass-produced sofa, you can give a pre-owned 1930s couch a new lease of life. Hand-picked for their charm, character, and authenticity, a vintage piece of furniture will empower you to create a bespoke environment that you can enjoy, relax in, and make a lifetime of memories.
