What BackYard is known for
BackYard combines a design showroom with jewellery workshops at U Obecního dvora in Prague. Its shared space brings together clothing and accessories with home objects by contemporary designers. The designers take turns serving customers and can explain how a piece was made and how to care for it.
BackYard's showroom at U Obecního dvora 2 combines a place to buy design with spaces where work is made and discussed. Jewellery workshops sit within the shared premises, which also host collection presentations and conversations with designers. The people behind the collections take turns looking after the shop, so a visit can include questions about making and materials as well as choosing an object.
The selection extends from clothing to jewellery and leather accessories. Its jewellery makers work with materials including silver and gold, but also brass and porcelain. For the home, the assortment includes cups and bowls. Vases and other porcelain pieces offer another way into the designers' work.
BackYard also accepts enquiries for wedding clothing and rings. These are separate from simply choosing an item from the showroom, and shoppers should discuss their needs with the relevant designer. The shop publishes a staff rota online, useful for anyone hoping to speak to a particular participant rather than leaving that meeting to chance.
