With immense joy and gratitude, we’re proud to announce that we’ve been awarded the Czech Grand Design Award 2024 in the Manufacturer of the Year category.A heartfelt thank you to the Czech Design Academy for recognizing our latest products, created in collaboration with amazing designers. We are deeply grateful to our wonderful customers for their trust and support – and, of course, to our dedicated team.

This award belongs to all companies that fight to keep local production alive, and to those who continue to support and believe in locally made products. We couldn’t have done it without you.

A short statement from the jury:

The brand was awarded for products designed by Czech designers of all generations – specifically the Oasis plant stand, Log armchair and sofa (Jiří Pelcl), SAD dining and office table (Atelier SAD), and the Dalmatian side table collection (Palma de Alma).

“Creating a product that is both accessible and aesthetically outstanding is a major challenge in today’s manufacturing environment. Furniture makers face rising material costs, shortages, and above all, fierce competition from international retail giants. To launch a product that appeals both in price and design is no small feat. Ondřej Zita and Luděk Šteigl took on that challenge years ago – and succeeded. Their strength lies in timeless, simple design and a deep understanding of current trends,” wrote journalist Veronika Pařízková on behalf of the Product Design Expert Jury.
