Cubist chair - Modernista

The expressive lines of this Janák cubist chair ranked it among the most striking and most frequently published items of early Czech Cubist furniture. What is more, this beautiful and striking chair is very comfortable to sit on. Making it requires precision work by the master carpenters with whom Modernista has long worked in the production of replicas.

Reproduction of the original held by the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague.
