Rattan Chair with Organic Forms by Borek Sipek, Italy, 1988
US$3,600
About
Rattan armchair "Prorok" by Borek Šípek, made in Italy in 1988. The generous structure of this expertly woven natural cane chair recall both the animal and the botanical; the beige cane wings of the armrests nod to the swan while the curling red and black cane on the sides look as if it sprouts from a flowering garden. Solid wooden front legs with subtle tapering and carved, white painted points. These dynamic Sipek armchairs are like a conversation between baroque and postmodern.

He is known as a versatile and imaginative artist using many different mediums and techniques.
