The wider context

Architecture in focus

The focus of our Czechia collection is Villa Tugendhat in Brno, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1930. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the pioneering examples of Modernist domestic architecture — its open floor plan, steel frame, and onyx partition wall established principles that would define 20th-century residential design.
