Vitra Edition: Ota Otanek Chair – Designed by Bořek Šípek (1988)
Description
Offered: A rare and iconic masterpiece from postmodernism. The Ota Otanek chair, designed by the legendary Czech architect and designer Bořek Šípek in 1988 for the exclusive Vitra Edition series.
This is not an everyday piece of furniture, but a sought-after collector's item that perfectly balances the line between functional design and fine art. As the original black Vitra label on the underside states: "This product should be treated as a work of art."
The chair is constructed from a beautiful interplay of materials: A frame of dark grey lacquered hammered steel, a characteristic organically shaped copper backrest, and seat/legs of artisan black stained wood.
