Jansky Chair by Bořek Šípek for Driade (1988) – A Masterpiece of Design

• Timeless Design: Representing a postmodern aesthetic, the Jansky Chair balances functionality and bold artistic expression. Its distinctive silhouette and rich textures make it as much a sculptural statement as a piece of furniture.
• Pristine Condition: This chair is in excellent condition, preserving its original integrity and vibrant purple finish—a testament to the enduring quality of Driade’s craftsmanship.

Bořek Šípek (1949–2016) was a world-renowned Czech architect, designer, and artist, celebrated for his experimental and boundary-pushing creations. Known as the “father of neo-baroque design,” Šípek infused his work with a blend of modern innovation and traditional craftsmanship. His creations, whether in architecture, glasswork, or furniture, were marked by their poetic, whimsical, and daring forms. Collaborating with prestigious brands like Driade, he redefined the boundaries of functional art, making his pieces highly sought-after by collectors and connoisseurs worldwide.
Whether you’re furnishing a modern interior or curating a gallery-like space, the Jansky Chair promises to be an eye-catching centerpiece. Own a slice of design history with this 1988 original from one of Italy’s most iconic furniture houses, crafted by a true master of postmodern design.
