Jan Vaněk Armchair
Code: 2601006Product detailed description
Wooden armchair designed by Jan Vaněk in the late 1950s and early 1960s for the Družstevní práce Krásná jizba cooperative. Vaněk was a Czech furniture designer, architect, and co-founder of Spojené uměleckoprůmyslové závody. He collaborated with renowned architects of the time, including Jan Kotěra and Josef Gočár, and was involved in furnishing the Tugendhat Villa, among other projects. His furniture is characterised by clean, timeless lines. He designed this armchair towards the end of his career, around the time of Expo 1958, and it is classified as part of the Brussels style.
The armchair has a solid oak frame stained a honey colour with a glossy finish. A notable feature is the geometrically angled armrests that seamlessly integrate with the legs of the chair. It is in excellent condition after a complete renovation in our workshop with new light blue fabric upholstery and white straps at the back.
