This legendary design was conceived by the acclaimed architects Karel Koželka and Antonín Kropáček, whose collaborative work fundamentally shaped modern interwar and postwar living in Czechoslovakia. The chair perfectly combines timeless elegant geometry, precision craftsmanship, and uncompromising comfort.

During the comprehensive professional restoration, emphasis was placed on maintaining the highest quality and luxurious finish. The original bent beechwood frame is in perfect condition and has undergone a meticulous surface treatment – the wooden parts were finished in black piano lacquer and subsequently polished to a luxurious high-gloss. This deep black surface lends the chair a dramatic flair and accentuates the dynamic silhouette of its curved armrests.

Ultimate comfort is provided by completely new professional spring upholstery, ensuring durability and period-accurate seating support. The chosen cover is a period-style houndstooth fabric in a traditional black-and-white pattern, which perfectly harmonizes with the glossy black frame and highlights the graphic, purist character of the entire design. This fully restored designer armchair represents an exceptional collector's statement piece and a valuable investment that will stand out in any sophisticated living room, lounge, or modern study.

It has been re-polished with polyutherane piano lacquer by our professional refurbishing team in Czechia according to the original process.
