Cabinets & Shelving units / Nouveau collection
The furniture is inspired by Czech Art Nouveau aesthetics and interdisciplinary artists of that period such as František Bílek. Interdisciplinarity, which was typical for that era, led to Jiri's and Taja's idea of combining design and drawings, crossing the borders between applied arts and fine arts. Jiří designed the sculptural furniture which Taja etched using a woodburning technique that was typical of the aforementioned period. These influences are present in the limited collection of collectible furniture in which both the design and drawing are related to the era. The furniture is carefully hand-crafted in the Czech Republic with a deep focus on delicate details such as miter joints, beveled edges, soft-touch matte surface finishing etc.

Glass objects
“My intention is to achieve sophisticated harmony. Not by reduction and minimalism, but by abundance, complexity, diversity and tension instead. I create forms and compositions that are not typical for the glass world. I examine how the perceiver responds to the aesthetics he does not know and how his perception changes over time. I am interested in the shift in perception of aperceiver upon his return to the object, which he initially perceived as disharmonious and unbalanced.”Every object is hand-crafted in the Czech Republic. The unique and only (1/1), signed original.
