Bořek Šípek, artist, architect, designer and university teacher, known for
especially as a creator of glass art objects and design
furniture or as the chief architect of the Prague Castle administration from the
President Václav Havel, where he worked on the restoration of the castle interiors.
He thus became the only artist who intervened in the architectural and artistic design of the Castle interiors after Arch. J. Plečnik. Thanks to his extensive work abroad, he is a recognised figure among the world's leading designers. His collaboration with the Italian furniture design firm Driade, which appointed B. Šípek as one of its court designers, has made the author's work world-famous.
