I would describe myself as a highly motivated and self organised young becoming-designer, a team player with a great communication skills, a creative one, but about all a humble person. I work with people across disciplines - restorators, architects, graphic designers and illustrators to create objects and spaces and I focus on the detail and quality of craft.

Mycelium city pots

Mycelium has the unique feature to retain water and evaporate when hot, thanks to it’s ability can city greens have water in hot summer days. Pots are modular and have 2 shapes, line and round, so You can get big either small shapes, depending on space around. This project tries to fight urban heat islands that are being detected in bigger cities mostly every summer nowadays. Cooperation with Aidan Zukowski & Theodor Hozåk

Shperkovnice
Jewelry box Shperkovnice came up from the new material Brokisglass developed by Czech company BROKIS. The material is made by melting their own shards instead of puting them into waste, so the outcome is defined by selecting size and color of shards and puting them into big oven where all the shards join together into one glass board with unique color and pattern. For it’s decorativity I gave it purpose of jewelry box lid, where it seems to me like being a jewelry on a jewelry box, where I played with this metaphor. The bottom part is made of Walnut wood using CNC and treated with bees wax. Both parts holds together thanks to stainless steel super-mirror part that also server a purpose of hinges.

Little free Library
Book shelter designed for Mělník city, located at children’s playground Na Polabí, which is the most attended in the city. Huge role for me was reachability of both children and adults. My library has two levels, children books goes to the lower level and parent’s books goes up. The playground is in Tom’s style, which means roughly processed wooden toys with colorful endings. I didn’t wanted to disturb much the playground aesthetic, but to add there a simple and functional element, so my starting point was wood, which was reachable in the area, and colored metal boxes.

Bagel Point pop-up kiosk
Bagel Point is a brand created for purpose of designing kiosk for farmers markets or street bistro. The kiosk is made from metal and the bottom part can also be used as a dumbwaiter. It has 6 holes for bagel stand sticks but You can put them in or out as you want, so You can use only 3 or 2 of them or none. At the right side are containers for vegetable and filling, and the process of serving the bagel as the customer want is linear. Cooperation with typograph Emma Ondrovรก.
