The H-213 armchair, designed by Jindřich Halabala, is like a perfectly tailored coat from the First Republic era—timeless, comfortable, and full of character. Created in the 1940s for the United UP Works in Brno, where Halabala served as chief designer, its style is unmistakable: the bentwood side panels, crafted from beech, form a graceful curve that embraces the seat like a picture frame. The shape is both functional and aesthetic—it offers solid support yet appears light, almost as if the chair is floating.

The H-213 came in several variations, often as a matching pair for living rooms. Its compact size and versatile design made it suitable for both city apartments and countryside villas.

Today, it’s a sought-after collector’s piece—not only in the Czech Republic. Its blend of functionalism, art deco, and modernist influences speaks to design lovers across the globe.

Halabala was committed to mass production without sacrificing quality. The H-213 proves it: even after eight decades, it still feels fresh and stylish. It's like a fine wine—it doesn't age, it matures.
