Modern School of Furniture, Interior and Architecture Design

Flexible Online Education that Combines Thematically Focused Courses with Practical Workshops and Personal Mentoring.

Our school of furniture, interior and architecture design is inspired by the world of cooking. Both have the same principles: creativity, imagination and attention to detail. You need an idea, an initial concept and its development, then the tedious work of implementation and the goal is a satisfied client or consumer who pays the bill.

If you can cook, you have everything you need for design – the ability to think creatively, experiment, create and think about client satisfaction. You can be a chef or a furniture, interior designer, architect. It’s about the desire to create, nothing more, nothing less.

Interior and furniture design are specific activities that combine creative areas with technical ones, empathy with reason. You need knowledge and experience from a wide spectrum of life. That makes it more interesting and a greater challenge.

I remember the hours with the professor fondly. I came with an idea, left with a completely different… and better one. Sometimes it hurts to hear the truth, but from him it always made sense. His comments were factual, constructive and often directed me in the right direction. He helped me advance in my thinking about design and taught me to see connections I would have otherwise overlooked. Thank you for the inspiration, support and advice that went beyond the studio itself.

Teaching with Ing. arch. Martin Kovařík was one of the greatest benefits during my studies at Mendel University. His connection of theory with practice, open approach and constructive feedback significantly advanced my thinking about furniture and interior design. Thanks to him, I gained not only professional knowledge, but also motivation to create with greater confidence and creativity.
