About the Item

Jansky Chair by Bořek Šípek for Driade (1988) – A Masterpiece of Design Step into the world of avant-garde furniture design with the Jansky Chair, created by the legendary architect and designer Bořek Šípek for Driade, Italy, in 1988. This exceptional piece exudes elegance and character, making it a perfect addition for collectors and design enthusiasts alike. • Striking Material Contrasts: The chair harmoniously blends materials with its front legs, seat, and sculptural backrest crafted from beautifully stained wood, complemented by its purple-painted iron structure and rear legs. The hand-crafted details of the backrest showcase true artistry. • 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.
