The Studio was founded in 1990 during the Vitra Design Museum workshop led by Denis Santachiara. At that time Michal Froněk (1966) and Jan Němeček (1963) studied at Academy of Arts in Prague. Their first projects involved design of experimental seating and interior concepts. At the begining the Studio´s creativity took on wide range of work from light-generating, ready-made objects, glass vases, porcelain-made sets and titanium jewellery to architectural projects. Its designs stress the use of technology and natural materials.
Design of interiors and reconstruction of the historical objects and industrial buildings is an important part of the team work.

Light is one of the main elements determining the quality of human life – it can significantly affect the perception of the world and psychological well-being. It combines many functional, aesthetic and symbolic qualities. For the designer it is an excellent tool for creating and modulating living space. Light designing is always an adventure, even though a lot of things can be calculated and predicted in advance, the actual result is clear only in the moment of the first switch. It’s a magical moment, and usually a big surprise. The creation of lighting is now one of the fastest growing fields of design, thanks to the increasingly powerful and affordable resources.
We’ve always enjoyed light, even though our work evolves around small series.

Since the beginning of its activities, our studio has been fascinated by glass. Although the focus of our work is in architecture and interior, we take every opportunity to come back to glass. We had the opportunity to try a variety of molten glass with different aesthetic and physical attributes, various craft and industrial approaches. Looking for new shapes, forms and technological processes is a game that never ends.
