From commodes to shelving units, the Roots collection includes a range of furniture solitaires. Its characteristic features are delicate joinery details and unusual woods, as well as the synthesis of traditional and progressive artisanal technologies. Besides the Roots collection, this installation also presents a unique collectors cabinet—an essence of Krejcirik’s artistic approach. “This cabinet altar encapsulates the childhood memory of my mother’s dresser. This memory inspired me to design a furniture memento. Its heart lies in the drawer unit, consisting of fifteen drawers upholstered in velvet. It is an intimate space for storing personal valuables,” comments Krejcirik.
The award-winning designer Jiri Krejcirik has partnered up with the Czech artisanal brand Futuro, introducing a new furniture collection, which presents a unique fusion of craftsmanship and a bold sculptural approach that is typical of Krejcirik’s aesthetics.
