Czech design studio Herrmann & Coufal was founded by two classmates while still studying at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. Since then, the portfolio has expanded by a variety of projects, especially in the field of product design. They’re all based on a thorough search for balance between purpose and beauty, an emphasis on detail, and courage to go beyond the known boundaries. Although the creative work often involves an experimental series of trial and error, the resulting products are characterized by lightness and a casual, almost intuitive aesthetics.

Their designs are featured in the collections of leading Czech brands, in urban public spaces, as well as in conceptual art installations. Over the years, they’ve been awarded the prestigious Red Dot Award, Designblok Diploma Selection, Czech Grand Design Award, Elle Decoration International Award and others.
