Set of 2 vintage chairs from the 1950s – Old White with patina

Colour experience

Old White is not a cold white, but a warm, breathable shade that responds beautifully to changing light. In daylight it feels fresh and airy; in the evening it becomes softer and more enveloping, making these chairs easy to combine with both light and darker interiors.

Decoration technique & finish

The wooden frames are painted with Decoration Paint in Old White and gently patinated using wax and Pompeii Volcano. This technique adds layered depth and a lived-in feel, allowing the chairs to show their history in a refined, understated way.

Atmosphere & style

This set fits effortlessly into country, classic and soft eclectic interiors, yet also works as a calming counterbalance in a modern home. The characteristic 1950s lines add subtle tension, elevating the chairs beyond a simple white finish.

Feeling & experience

These are chairs that do not demand attention, but quietly bring stillness to a room. They invite you to sit, to linger, to share moments around the table — exactly what good vintage furniture should do.

Sustainability & craftsmanship

The chairs have been fully reused and carefully refinished. By working with durable paint, wax and existing materials, they are given a second life without waste, honouring the original craftsmanship.

Use in the interior

Perfect as dining chairs around a wooden or painted table, but equally beautiful as a set in a bedroom, hallway or study. Combine them with natural materials, linen curtains or accessories in soft earthy tones for a balanced look.

Practical & maintenance

The patinated finish is strong and forgiving in daily use. Regular dusting or wiping with a lightly damp cloth is sufficient; with intensive use, the wax layer can easily be refreshed locally. The cream linen-look upholstery feels soft and enhances the calm appearance.
