Borek Sipek (1949-2016) studied interior design at the School for Arts and Crafts in Prague. In 1983 he established his design workshop in Amsterdam, the base of his incursions between East and West. ⁠ ⁠ In those years he started his collaboration with #Driade, designing furniture, objects and ideas of suggestive originality. A poet of tradition grafted on the unequivocal restlessness of a modern sensibility, Sipek has thus started systematic explorations in the infinite universes of craftsmanship, testing himself with techniques and materials with ancient roots.⁠ ⁠
