| Description | Furniture formed a significant part of the production of the Centre for Folk Art Production (ÚLUV). The design of furniture for contemporary interiors drew only limited inspirations from domestic vernacular furniture. The architect Vladimír Bouček introduced the so-called režný [? unbleached, raw, natural] style which became a defining feature and was grounded in the fundamental principles of folk production: the use of natural materials, the application of traditional techniques, and the respect for the tectonics of the object. Designers also took inspiration from timeless Scandinavian forms, primarily in seating furniture made of light-coloured wood, willow twigs, and rattan. In urban households in the 1960s through 1980s, ÚLUV furniture was typically represented by single pieces, while the programme aimed at furnishing of holiday cottages and chalets gained greater popularity. The distinctive appearance of the furniture, complemented by textiles and ceramics, played a crucial role in shaping the ÚLUV style, which was presented in the Krásná Jizba [? Beautiful Chamber] shops |
