Handmade Nouveau Wood Shelf By Jiří Krejčiřík

Handmade Nouveau wood shelf by Jirí KrejciríkDimensions: 130 x 50 x 220 cmMaterial: Birch WoodAlso available in other materials and dimensions.The furniture is inspired by Czech Art Nouveau aesthetics and interdisciplinary artists of that period such as FrantiAek Bilek. Interdisciplinarity, which was typical for that era, led to the IDEA of combining design and drawings, crossing the borders between applied arts and fine arts. I designed the sculptural furniture which visual artist Taja Spasskova etched using a woodburning technique that was typical of the aforementioned period. These influences are present in the limited collection of collectible furniture in which both the design and drawing are related to the era. The furniture is carefully handcrafted in the Czech Republic with a deep focus on delicate details such as miter joints, bevelled edges, soft-touch matte surface finishing etc.Awards:10/2019 // Designblok Award 2019 / Best new product by a designer / Winner02/2020 // Czech Grand Design Awards 2019 / The Designer of the Year / Nominee02/2020 // ELLE Decoration International Design Awards 2020 / The Designer of the Year / NomineeExhibitions:Prague International Design Festival Designblok / 2019Centre for Contemporary Art - DOX / Prague / 2020Artisème / Prague / 2019Rossana Orlandi Summer Gallery / Porto Cervo / 2020Rossana Orlandi Master Gallery / Milano / 2020 - 2021.
