Rattan Armchair "Prorok" by BOREK SIPEK for DRIADE, Italy, 1988
Regular price$0.00 Sale priceRattan armchair "Prorok" by Bořek Šípek, made in Italy in 1988. The generous structure of this expertly woven natural cane chair recall both the animal and the botanical; the beige cane wings of the armrests nod to the swan while the curling red and black cane on the sides look as if it sprouts from a flowering garden. Solid wooden front legs with subtle tapering and carved, white painted points. These dynamic Sipek armchairs are like a conversation between baroque and postmodern.
