A cantilever chair by the firm Slezák, dated to 1930. Steel tubing carries beech plywood and, with the rear legs missing, the chair flexes slightly as you sit — the principle with which functionalism changed the idea of what a chair should look like. Restored. Height 82 cm, width 41 cm, depth 55 cm. We will prepare the colour and the number of chairs to your wishes; the price given 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.
