ÚLUV lamp

€ 1 211

New

A replica of a floor lamp produced in the 1960s by the ÚLUV (Ústředí lidové umělecké výroby). It was founded in 1958 by the association of several brands, including the well-known Krásná jizba. The Prague-based company ÚLUV had a production plant in Uherské Hradiště with a company shop in a house on Palacké Street in Uherské Hradiště, which operated there until the mid-1990s. In the production of the replica lamp, we kept the original proportions and took inspiration from the original. The lamp is completely handmade in the Czech Republic from cherry wood and blown milk glass. It consists of a wooden tripod with a built-in thread for a light bulb. The tripod is fitted with an oval shade made of milk glass, which creates a pleasantly diffused light. Socket E27, Voltage 12V. The lamp is shipped with one CENTURY LED HRUŠKA ARIA PLUS 12-24VAC/DC 12W E27 270d 3000K 1055Lm bulb. Please note that this lamp has a voltage of 12V and therefore special 12-24VAC/DC bulbs must be used. It does not work with standard 220V bulbs.

Chest of drawers U-453 ATYP

€ 1 801

New

Newly made chest of drawers from the U-450 series, originally designed in 1958 by Jiří Jiroutek (*1928). The atypical chest of drawers U-453 comes from the rare Universal (U-450) test series, which Jiří Jiroutek designed for the Czechoslovak national company Interiér Praha. The test series from which this cabinet comes was in production for only two years, while the standard U-450 series was produced for approximately 20 years. This unique piece was forgotten and only a few versions were produced. In restoring the production, we worked closely with designer Jiří Jiroutek, with whom we consulted on the choice of materials and all production details. The cabinet is completely handmade in the Czech Republic from solid spruce with oak veneer and semi-matt lacquer. The drawers are made of solid beech wood (originally plywood) and the base is made of solid wood. The chest of drawers is made according to the original design. Jiří Jiroutek's design is one of the symbols of the so-called Brussels style, which became popular after the success of the Czechoslovak pavilion at the Brussels Expo '58.

The word Nanovo in Czech means something "anew", "afresh" or "again". We stumbled upon the name of our shop as we were chilling at Berlin's university in 2009. Two years later in 2011 our Nanovo shop opened. We are a shop with Czechoslovak and international post-war design, we sell and renovate furniture and we also design interiors. In 2016 we have received the Czech Grand Design Award "Shop of the Year". In 2019, we were awarded the EDIDA Award - Elle magazine award for Jiří Jiroutek's furniture reissue.
