Sipek

(1/4) > >>

Ivo:
Here is another item with a puzzle attached. The bottom says Sípek - but first of all,  if it is a Borek Sipek design I would expect the accents to be correct.  Instead of the Czech "upside down circonflexe", there is an accent aigüe over the S, and an accent grave over the i.
Secondly, the piece is a geometric funfair of circles, squares and octagonal shapes, which is not something I associate with Sipek designs.
Could this be earlier work for VSL? It weighs several kilos, the diameter is 20cm/ 8"

Sklounion:
Bořek Šípek, is how it should appear. Doesn't he have Studio Šípek, based in Amsterdam?

Ivo:
Not sure if he still does  - he used to.

Sklounion:
Sorry Ivo, Does appear that it has all moved back to Prague.
Might be worth trying this address for further info: info(AT)studiosipek.com
or, having been based in Holland, and Dutch spoken, the phone number is: 00 420 220 514 487

Frank:
Ivo/Marcus, did you progress this at all?
