About Czech Cubism (Prague 1912)

Czech Cubism is history's only design movement that translated Picasso and Braque's fractured picture plane into real buildings, furniture, and ceramics. Between 1910 and 1914, Prague architects Josef Gočár, Pavel Janák, and Josef Chochol built prismatic facades, crystal-cut chairs, and faceted lamps — a fully three-dimensional Cubist vocabulary rendered in walnut, bronze, and stone.

This design system captures that brief, intense moment: warm dark walnut grounds, copper-bronze ornamental highlights, sharp diagonal geometry with zero curves, and geometric serif typography that echoes the crystalline facets of Gočár's House of the Black Madonna.
