This rare armchair was designed by renowned Czech designer Robert Slezák and produced by the Slezák company in Bystritz (Bystřice pod Hostýnem), former Czechoslovakia, during the 1930s. Listed under catalogue number K 17, this piece is a striking example of early 20th-century modernist design. Crafted from chrome-plated tubular steel, beech wood, and natural cane, the chair reflects the strong influence of the Bauhaus movement and stands as a testament to the principles of Czech functionalism of the interwar period. The harmonious combination of materials emphasizes both form and function, embodying the modernist ethos with elegance and clarity. The armchair has been partially refurbished to preserve its historical integrity. The seat has been carefully re-caned by hand, using traditional techniques, while the chrome and wooden elements have been professionally cleaned and polished to restore their original luster. An iconic piece for collectors and enthusiasts of Bauhaus, functionalist furniture, and early modernist design, this armchair not only offers historical value but also brings timeless aesthetic appeal to any interior.
