Lonely Planet review

This classy showcase of Czech cubism, Art Deco and similar design features covetable but reasonably priced ceramics, jewellery, posters, books and some furniture. Early-20th-century reproductions include cubist boxes (Pavel Janák), expressionist ashtrays (Vlastislav Hofman), wooden toys (Ladislav Sutnar) and Jindrich Halabala's iconic 1931 reclining armchair. Contemporary items like sperm-shaped teaspoons, and Škoda toy cars add humour.

Plans are in place to open the basement, turning the place into a huge temple to 20th- and 21st-century Czech design.
