A cantilever chair from the Slezák works: the seat and back are held in space by bent steel tubing with no rear legs, so the chair flexes slightly as you sit. The principle was introduced by Mart Stam in the mid-1920s and Slezák made it in the thousands. Seat and back in beech plywood. Restored; the price is per piece.
A Leading Manufacturer of Czechoslovak Metal Furniture of the 1920s–1930s
Slezákovy závody ranked among the most important producers of chromed metal furniture during the interwar period. The company became renowned for its elegant constructions made of bent steel tubing, reflecting the functionalist emphasis on lightness, clean lines, and practical use.
Their range included side tables, coat racks, lamps, flower stands, and smaller interior accessories, all distinguished by high standards of craftsmanship and a characteristic modernist aesthetic. Furniture by Slezákovy závody was widely used in both private homes and public interiors - from cafés to offices.
Today, original pieces by Slezák are valued by collectors and designers alike as authentic examples of Czechoslovak functionalism and as refined complements to contemporary interiors.
