The LOPA chair is proof that when talent and innovation come together, something extraordinary is created. Designed by the design duo Roman Vrtiška and Vladimír Žák, this chair has quickly won recognition and awards for its clean design and innovative approach to manufacturing.
European oak, chosen for its strength and longevity, is at the heart of our production, where we ensure exceptional quality through careful selection of raw materials, in-house drying and subsequent processing over several months. The emphasis on using the best parts of the tree allows each product to be a unique masterpiece.
Our wide range of upholstery options also add to the excellence of our products - whether it be the Woolland or Fenno ranges, each offers high durability and water repellency, adding a final aesthetic and functional dimension to our products.
For regular cleaning and care, we recommend wiping the furniture with a dry and soft cotton cloth. Microfiber cloths are not suitable for treating oiled surfaces because they affect the oiled surface like fine sandpaper. Lightly soiled surfaces can be treated with common preparations containing waxes and oils, e.g. Pronto for wood, when we follow the instructions on the product (it is important that the surface is subsequently wiped dry). Oiled surfaces do not provide as much protection against moisture and mechanical damage as lacquered ones. So, for example, when liquids or food are spilled, it is recommended to wipe off the dirt as soon as possible.
Our chairs and benches (except for the KA series) come with two types of glides, allowing you to easily adapt them to your needs.
The glides for hard floors are already mounted on the product, so you can immediately start using the chairs or benches without worrying about scratching wooden or laminate surfaces. Additionally, the package includes glides for soft floor coverings, such as carpets.
Changing the glides is simple: lift the edge of the glide with a flat screwdriver or the dull side of a table knife, and snap on the new glide based on your floor type.
Creating a chair that is practical, comfortable, and visually appealing was a key challenge for Vrtiška and Žák. LOPA is the result of their efforts to combine functionality with beauty, bringing a natural elegance and style into our homes, all while emphasizing sustainability and quality. Its uniqueness is highlighted by the use of solid wood without a single screw, making it a work of art in itself. LOPA won the awardfor Best Furniture Collection at Designblok in Prague in 2019 and was also honored at the BIGSEE WOOD DESIGN AWARD in 2022.
Vrtiška & Žák
Roman Vrtiška & Vladimír Žák graduated together from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, they became part of an emerging generation of Czech designers with a wide range of creative interests. They work on projects in the field of architecture, product and graphic design. For example, they designed the HŘIB tables for Javorina, which helped the company win a nomination for the Czech Grand Design Award in 2018.
They have also created a range of designs from the VETVA shelves to the timeless LUNA clock to the daunting task of designing their own chairs.
