This exceptional project quickly gained recognition even among industry experts. The Office Collection has won two prestigious awards: the Designblok Awards 2024 in the Best New Product by a Manufacturer category and the Red Dot Winner 2025 in the Product Design category.
The Office Collection is a set of six luxury office accessories that combine cutting-edge design, precise Czech craftsmanship, and exceptional quality. These are high-end products that will delight not only design enthusiasts but also those who appreciate timeless functionality.
The collection was developed over a period of three years under the leadership of designer Natálie Navrátilová, whose goal was to create a set of office accessories that would not only be practical but would also offer a unique aesthetic experience. Every detail has been carefully considered—from the choice of materials and manufacturing technology to the graphic elements.
All accessories are made of duralumin and machined using a subtractive method, ensuring that every piece is perfectly precise. The DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating gives the products properties comparable to those of a diamond—high hardness, abrasion resistance, and a long service life.
The result is a collection that combines lightweight construction, exceptional durability, and long-lasting aesthetic value. What is typically hidden within cutting-edge industrial technologies becomes part of everyday office life here.
Each product is numbered and adorned with laser-engraved text in the Avantt font from the Czech type foundry Displaay. This detail clearly underscores the Czech origin of the entire collection. The packaging design was created by UMPRUM student Kateřina Pravdová, who infused the packaging with the fresh perspective of a new generation of designers. The collection is thus not only a product but also an expression of contemporary Czech creativity.
The collection includes six tools that combine aesthetics and practicality:
- Office Art.No.1 – pencil sharpener: unconventional shape, sturdy body.
- Office Art.No.2 – letter opener: an elegant tool not just for the office.
- Office Art.No.3 – scalpel: easy blade replacement, grooved handle for a stable grip.
- Office Art.No.4 – ruler: slim, sturdy, ideal for precise work.
- Office Art. No. 5 – protractor: lightweight, sturdy, and extremely precise.
- Office Art. No. 6 – set square: a reliable tool for precise drafting.
The Office collection is designed for discerning customers who seek not only a functional tool but also aesthetic value. It is the ideal choice for modern offices, stylish home offices, and as a prestigious gift. It is available both as individual items and as a complete set of all six accessories.
Each accessory is a small design artifact—and it is only as a whole that it reveals its true power. The Office Collection demonstrates that even office supplies can be a symbol of personal style and taste.
The Designblok Awards 2024 and Red Dot Winner 2025 are proof that the Office Collection ranks among the best in contemporary design—not only in the Czech Republic but also worldwide.
