About the Item
Designed in 1946 by Czech architect Ladislav Bartoníček, this pair of modernist stools exemplifies the thoughtful intersection of functionality and craftsmanship that defined postwar Czechoslovak design. Created for Krásná jizba, the design-focused branch of the progressive Družstevní práce cooperative, these stools were conceived during a period of cultural renewal, aimed at elevating everyday living through aesthetic quality.
With a frame carved from dark-stained wood, each stool presents gently arched legs and a clean, organic profile. The minimalist structure is completed by a newly re-strapped woven seat, paying homage to its original purpose without compromising integrity. The stools retain their original polished wood surfaces, enriched by time and use with a beautiful warm patina.
Bartoníček’s work with Krásná jizba is emblematic of the studio’s broader mission: to democratize good design and embrace both industrial production and artisanal values. Alongside works by Jan Vaněk, Jiří Rathouský, and Ladislav Sutnar, these stools stand as quiet, collectible icons of Czech modernism.
Suggested Use: A sculptural accent in modernist interiors, reading nooks, or beside a daybed or low table. Rarely found as a pair, ideal for collectors of European modern design.
