About the Item
Jan Vaněk for Krásná Jizba, a pair of lounge chairs constructed from oak and canvas, Czech Republic, 1940s.
These armchairs, designed by Jan Vaněk, exemplify a construction characterized by sharp lines and distinct shapes. Notable details, such as the pointed ends of the backrest and armrests, contribute to the strength of the overall design. The chairs feature new canvas webbing arranged in horizontal and vertical patterns, adding a graphical element to the aesthetic.
It is important to note that these chairs are in good condition and ready for use for many years. The solid oak frames exhibit signs of age and wear but remain in excellent original condition, showcasing a remarkable patina. These distinguished armchairs would be a striking addition to various interiors, including living rooms, family rooms, screening rooms, and offices. Furthermore, they are ideally suited for hospitality or corporate environments such as boutique hotel lobbies, cocktail bars, members' clubs, or luxury boutiques.
Opting for mid-century design furniture emphasizes the utilization of high-quality, pre-existing materials and promotes sustainability. This selection of furniture can experience multiple lives, reaffirming its durability and craftsmanship. Many mid-century pieces possess a rich history, and the visible signs of wear provide insight into the experiences of previous owners.

Jan Vanek
Elegance describes the designs of Jan Vanek.
Influenced by his family’s furniture company, Vandek studied woodworking. Following a stint in Germany, where he advanced his skills at established firms in Munich, Stuttgart and Heilbronn, he returned home to the former Czechoslovakia and took over the family business, which in 1920 became known as Spojené Uměleckoprůmyslové Závody, or UP Závody.
Vanek's early friendships and collaborations with architectural and design greats like Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Adolf Loos and others likely had much to do with his graceful style, best exemplified by his 1930s bentwood chairs, with the arabesque curves of their arms and legs conjoining to form open, dynamic loops.
True to Czech standards for uniformity, Vanek scarcely altered the design over decades of production, though he did gradually modernize his frames: His 1950s models are more angular, industrialized — and very definitely modern.
