Vladimira Konvalinkova has thrown ceramics at her Latran studio since opening it to the public in 2001, making lighting, vases, tiles, bowls and drinking sets glazed in earth tones drawn from iron, manganese and copper oxides. She works only in originals, cutting and reshaping wheel-thrown forms and sometimes joining them with metal or glass, and sells straight from the atelier.

Deelive is one of Central Europe's largest dedicated Czech design stores, carrying more than 3,000 products made in the Czech Republic — contemporary glass, porcelain and ceramics, furniture and lighting, jewelry, fashion and accessories, and art photography, graphics and books. The store's stated focus is 'the best of the local design scene,' spanning newly launched work alongside recognized icons of Czech design, and it develops its own branded product lines in cooperation with established Czech designers, with an emphasis on workmanship and finishing detail. The Prague flagship sits in Staré Město, positioned deliberately in the historic core near the National Theatre and Charles Bridge, and the space is conceived as more than a shop floor — a meeting point where visitors can learn about individual designers' work and craft directly. Deelive operates a second Prague location and an additional store in Brno, extending the same curated-Czech-design model beyond the capital. For a browser drawn to Bohemian glassmaking and contemporary Central European design objects rather than mass-market souvenirs, it functions as a single, reliable point of entry into the current Czech design scene.

Krehky was founded in 2010 by Jana Zielinski and Jiri Macek with the explicit aim of reviving and extending a long tradition of Czech art-industry production -- glassmaking, porcelain, and studio furniture -- for a contemporary audience rather than treating it as a heritage craft frozen in period styling. The gallery's exhibition space, opened inside a former ham factory in Prague, presents a personal, curated view of contemporary design and domestic objects through rotating exhibitions alongside its own permanent collection. Krehky's working method centers on commissioning: rather than manufacturing a fixed catalog, the gallery invites designers from the Czech Republic and abroad to design objects specifically for production within traditional Czech manufactures, working in porcelain, glass, and wood, with each collaboration framed around a simple brief -- to create something the designer would be glad to give as a gift. The gallery has become a fixture of Prague's design calendar, featured at the city's international Design Blok festival and included in the Homo Faber craft-guide network, and drew early design-press attention -- Dezeen covered an exhibition, 'Heroes,' at the space in 2010 -- as one of the country's more consistent platforms connecting traditional manufacture with current design practice.
Křehký ("fragile" in Czech) is a Prague design gallery and shop representing contemporary Czech designers, with limited editions and one-off pieces in porcelain, glass, wood and furniture made in local workshops. Founded by Jana Zielinski and Jiří Macek, it has shown work by designers including Bořek Šípek, Maxim Velčovský and Jaime Hayón, and also runs the biennial Křehký Mikulov design festival.
