Spanish Brutalist Mid Century Sculptural Tripod Chairs, 1950s

Handcrafted Solid Wood Chairs with Sculptural Form

These Brutalist Spanish tripod chairs, handcrafted in the 1950s, embody the expressive and raw aesthetic of mid-century modern design. Constructed entirely from solid wood, the chairs showcase a striking sculptural form with tall, narrow backs, subtly curved seats, and tripod-style bases. Their minimalist yet bold geometry makes them unique statement pieces in any interior.

Sculptural design and historical resonance

The chairs’ organic curves and cut-out detailing on the backrest reflect both functional ingenuity and decorative craftsmanship. Historically, this type of tripod form is associated with birthing chairs, lending these pieces symbolic depth as well as design interest. Their Brutalist character highlights the honesty of material and structure, combining rustic strength with mid-century sophistication.

Craftsmanship and collectibility

Handmade with traditional woodworking techniques, these chairs represent Spanish mid-century artisanal design at its finest. Their solid wood construction ensures durability, while the sculptural silhouette aligns them with collectible Brutalist furniture of the era. Suitable for interiors that celebrate both modernist design and artisanal craft, they function equally as usable seating or sculptural art objects.
