Description

The Bauhaus-inspired armchair is made with the finest quality vegetable-tanned Italian leather from Tuscany, wenge wood and welded metal profiles.
Pneumatic springs used in the construction allow for pleasant rocking – the power of gas springs can be adjusted to the user’s weight.

It’s a completely handmade unique prototype. The metal construction is welded.

In 2022 the chair got a Good Design Award organised by Polish Design Institute.

Metal construction is welded so that the chair has to be shipped on a crate.
Chair based on this prototype is planned for low batch production – there will be major changes in manufacturing technology.

About the designer


Witold Szostak, inspired by his father who was an architect, studied architecture at Cracow University of Technology, however his huge passion for creating objects and a close work with various materials led him to become a designer and a craftsman. Witold’s creative narrative behind each creation is a subject of immense interest and intrigue. His proficiency to work with different materials like stainless steel, aluminum, different types of wood as well as ceramic, glass fiber, leather and concrete is distinctly visible in his designs and offers him a broader perspective to create unique handcrafted items that are very artisanal and functional. What Witold finds most fascinating about craftsmanship and what you can definitely observe in his works might be explained by his favourite quotation by J. Archer: “If you ever come across a piece of pottery that is perfect, you can be confident that it was produced by a machine. With pottery, you must seek near perfection. If you look carefully enough, you will always find some slight blemish that serves to remind us that the piece was crafted by a human hand. The longer you have to search, the greater the craftsman, for it was only Giotto who was able to draw the perfect circle.” Near perfection is perfection itself when it comes to handmade items, claims Witold. In parallel to one-of-a-kind objects Szostak Atelier is currently working on small batch production products made in cooperation with manufacturers across Poland.
