The Geometry Endures

1
Form follows facet, not function
Every surface is a deliberate prism-plane — nothing is ornamental, everything is structural geometry applied to ceramic and oak.
2
Darkness gives the edge its worth
Ebonized oak absorbs light where glaze reflects it — the tension between shadow and ochre is what makes each object feel carved from a single block.
3
Zigzag is not decoration — it is rhythm
The chevron bands on Artěl earthenware translate painterly brushwork into architectural cadence, binding surface to structure in a single stroke.

Four years, still no successor
Prague Cubism lasted from 1910 to 1914 — a brief window when Czech designers saw further into three-dimensional form than anyone in Europe.
