1930s Czech Bentwood Dining Chair by Bernkop

€240.00

Made by Bernkop in Frenštát pod Radhoštěm, Czechoslovakia, this 1930s dining chair brings an unusual richness of detail to a familiar bentwood form.

Its round seat sits above a slender circular support, while gently curved legs give the chair its light silhouette. Four additional supports rise between the seat and backrest, creating a distinctive pattern that sets this example apart from the closely related Bernkop Model K6. The warm wood finish draws attention to every curve.

Compact and full of character, it would sit beautifully at a dining table or make an individual accent chair beside a desk.

About Bernkop

Bernkop was a furniture manufacturer based in Frenštát pod Radhoštěm, Czechoslovakia, a town with a long tradition of bentwood production. Its chairs used graceful curves and practical construction to create pieces that feel light yet full of character. This 1930s example shows that approach in its round seat, curved legs and finely detailed backrest.
