Vrtiška & Žák
Roman Vrtiška & Vladimír Žák graduated together from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and became part of a new generation of Czech designers with a broad creative scope. Their work spans architecture, product design, and graphic design. Among their many projects, they designed the HRIB tables, which contributed to a nomination for the Czech Grand Design Award in 2018.
Their portfolio also includes a variety of designs, from the VETVA shelves and the timeless LUNA clock to the challenging task of creating their own chairs.
TUBA
Upholstered Chair
The elegant execution of the TUBA & LOPA design earned recognition as the Best Furniture Collection at Designblok 2019. For both models, the creative duo aimed to design a simple yet functional chair with a contemporary aesthetic. Despite the many challenges that come with seating design, they achieved a clean and refined look that highlights expert craftsmanship. With no visible screws or joints, the precise detailing of the recessed leg and backrest stands out, allowing the natural beauty of solid wood to take center stage.
