JUUL KRISTENSEN (Denmark) for Glostrup Møbelfabrik. Armchair, 1960's. Teak, upholstered in fine wool. With label of the firm. Measurements: 100 x 80 x 79 cm. Armchair designed by Juul Kristensen and manufactured in Denmark by Glostrup Møbelfabrik in the 1960s. The teak wood structure, with the arms and legs (the later ones oblique) carved in an organic form, as well as the openwork backrest, show an exceptional work, genuinely Nordic in the handcrafted treatment of the finishes. Edges have been avoided in the structure as a whole, which gives it fluidity in its lines and warmth in its appearance. The seat and back cushions are covered with fine wool fabric. Juul Kristensen began his career working for Danish design and furniture companies such as Fritz Hansen and Rosendahl A/S. In 1969 he founded his own design company, Juul Kristensen Design, which produced furniture, lighting and home accessories. Throughout his career, Kristensen has received numerous awards and prizes for his design achievements, including the Prix d'Excellence from the Danish Design Foundation in 1974 and the Grand Danish Design Award in 1987. His designs are often characterized by their simplicity and functionality, and by the use of natural materials such as wood and leather. His best-known creations include the "Kilin" armchair for Fritz Hansen and the "Diva" desk lamp for Le Klint. Juul Kristensen is considered one of the most influential Danish designers and helped shape the modern Scandinavian design aesthetic. He passed away in 2016 at the age of 79.

BOREK SIPEK (Prague, Czech Republic, 1949-2016) for Maletti. Chair "Maletius", 1980's. Metal frame, upholstered seat, blue plastic back, wooden armrests. Swivel. Measurements: 80 x 60 x 56 cm. The Czech designer and architect Boris Sipek developed in the eighties and nineties a collection of luxury chairs for hairdressing salons with his unmistakable neo-baroque and postmodern flavor, daring and ingenious in its unusual combination of materials and aesthetic formulas. The chair shown here is part of this peculiar series produced by Maletti. Borek Sipek trained in interior design at the School of Arts and Crafts in Prague. He completed his studies in Architecture at the University of Applied Arts in Hamburg and Philosophy at the Technical University of Stuttgart, later establishing his design studio in Amsterdam in 1983. In the 1980s he began collaborating with Driade, for whom he designed furniture and objects characterized by their tremendous originality, a collaboration that was decisive for the success of his career. At Driade he became one of the brand's main collaborators alongside Philippe Starck, Oscar Tusquets and Antonia Astori. He was later one of the initiators of the construction of the Ajeto glass factory to support the traditions of Bohemian glassblowing, where the best craftsmen were dedicated to the creation of high-end pieces. He firmly entered Milan's design circles, where he was invited to collaborate with Alessi, Cleto Murani, Sawaya & Moroni, Wittmann and the Swiss brand Vitra. In the late 1980s, he traveled to Asia, where he became acquainted with the Japanese polychrome lacquer technique: he created an atypical Urushi Arai collection, where his usual techniques for glass were rendered in wood. Throughout his career he has received numerous awards, including the honorable mention in the German Architecture Prize (1983), the Dutch Kho Liang Le Dutch Kho Liang Design Award (1989), La Croix Chevalier dans l'ordre des Arts et Lettres by the French government (1991), the Prince Bernhard Fonds Award for Architecture and Applied Arts of the Netherlands (1993) and the Talent De L'Originalite" - Le Sommet du Luxe et de la Creation award, among others. Between 1990 and 2003 he held the title of court architect of Prague Castle appointed by Václav Havel, president of the former Czechoslovakia, later the Czech Republic.
