Odette Centerpiece

Borek Sipek

The Odette centerpiece, part of Bořek Šípek’s Follies series for Driade, is a striking fruit bowl that blends historic reference with postmodern flair. Named after a character in Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past, it reflects Šípek’s fascination with narrative and form. With its scalloped, tin-glazed porcelain bowl and silver-plated brass base, Odette echoes Renaissance compotes while showcasing playful details like scrollwork, handles, and perforations. An impressive piece on any table, it is both functional and unmistakably sculptural.
