Yoochai Jatoba and Abalone Hand Crafted Chair by Bořek Šípek 1990
About the Item
Step into the world of extraordinary design with this 1990 handcrafted Yoochai chair, a masterpiece by the visionary Czech designer Bořek Šípek for Scarabas. This chair is not just a piece of furniture; it’s a statement of craftsmanship and artistry. Made from rich, hand-polished wood and adorned with exquisite Abalone inlays, it marries traditional materials with modern creativity.
The Yoochai chair's distinctive five-legged structure challenges conventional design, embodying Šípek's philosophy of blending the functional with the whimsical. Its graceful curves, detailed carvings, and delicate inlays highlight Šípek’s unparalleled ability to turn everyday objects into works of art.
Bořek Šípek, often hailed as the "Father of Neo-Baroque," was known for his daring and poetic approach to design. As the chief architect for Prague Castle under President Václav Havel, Šípek brought a touch of fantasy to one of the world’s most historic sites. His works have been celebrated globally for their innovation, earning places in prestigious collections like the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
Owning this Yoochai chair is owning a piece of design history—perfect for art collectors, design enthusiasts, or anyone looking to add an extraordinary conversation piece to their space.
This chair transcends its utilitarian purpose, capturing the spirit of an era defined by experimentation and artistic freedom. Secure it today and bring Bořek Šípek’s legacy into your home.
Colors may slightly vary due to photographic lighting sources or your monitor settings.
