Borek Sipek

Borek Sipek personifies the unknown in design. More than anyone, he has raised the way the object is regarded to a level of mysticism that completely breaks with the rationality of the Western European masters. "The most important factor in contemporary design", says Sipek, "is not that it be attractive, but that it relate to the individual. As for those who consider functionality the most important element, all I can say is that they are still in the most primitive stage of their design development".
