Lukáš Kaplan, Václav Mlynář
KAPLAN 1934, Czech Republic
Our furniture comes from the trees that grow in the forests of the Eagle Mountains. On those hills where our children learn to ski. Here our experiences and craftsmanship grow stronger in the same way as the trees. We pick them one after another and turn them into tables and chairs, which pay tribute to the family craftsmanship. For four generations.
Tradition. Tenacity. And an endless inquisitiveness you’ll understand when you turn one of our chairs upside down.
That’s where you’ll find it — our eye for detail. Perfectly smooth joints. Strength you can feel. A sturdiness, that somehow still carries a sense of lightness. This is the legacy of nearly a century of family craftsmanship.
We build our furniture in one of the most remote corners of the Orlické Mountains — a place that disappears into autumn mist and never really lets you go. This is where our family lives. Not by choice, but by decision. To be rooted and curious all at once.
How far can a family craft take you, if you give it everything? To the table. One that’s with you every day — and for a lifetime. Pull up a chair.
