Based in Prague, Jiri Krejcirik is an award-winning Czech designer whose practice operates at the intersection of design and art. His work focuses primarily on furniture, lighting, and objects, which he develops and presents under his eponymous brand, JIRI KREJCIRIK, while also engaging in bespoke commissions for private clients and collaborations with international companies. His professional practice extends from object and product design to spatial installations and exhibition scenography. Jiri Krejcirik’s work is characterised by a sensitive dialogue between contemporary form and historical reference. Drawing on local craftsmanship and traditional manufacturing techniques, his objects reinterpret elements of European cultural heritage through a distinctly contemporary lens. His approach consistently foregrounds context, material intelligence, and refined detail, allowing each project—whether functional, spatial, or conceptual—to emerge as a carefully considered response to its environment. Embracing the Czech tradition of craftsmanship, each one of Jiri Krejcirik’s products is hand-crafted locally in the Czech Republic, produced in a limited series and displayed only in meticulously chosen galleries and design showrooms in Europe, US and Australia.
Completed projects
| Project | Ode to Chair 14 |
|---|---|
| Client | Ton a.s. |
| Year | 2023 |
| Description | My Ode to Chair 14 revives the iconic Chair 14, which to me embodies the very essence of Ton. It has been on the market for over 160 years and its morphology proves that Ton are masters of the bending technique. That’s why the bent wooden circles are the central element of my design. I thought of Ode to Chair 14 as a sculpture. No new mold had to be created to make this chair–object, as I intentionally created it from components and molds already in Ton’s production. In this way, too, the past and the present, the heritage and the new idea, came together. |
