Modernista was founded in 1999 with the aim of creating a unique shop in the Czech Republic, which will offer
thebest of Czech design of the last 100 years. Today Modernista with its network of shops is the most significant of its kind in the market of design objects. It focuses on selling authorized replicas of important artists of the first half of the 20th century, but also offers contemporary design - especially glass, porcelain
and jewelry.

The modernist has long collaborated with the Museum of Art and Industry (UPM), with whom he has brought to life an exclusive reissue of the Cubist collection, furniture and home accessories by Pavel Janák, Josef Gočár and Rudolf Stockar. The portfolio also includes replicas of wooden toys by Ladislav Sutnar, Václav Špála and Jožka Baruch.
The production of authorised new originals based on the original designs of the outstanding Czech designer Jindřich Halabala, whose designs Modernista has an exclusive licence to produce and sell, is a significant feature . The products are also protected by the trademark of the UP factories under whose brand Halabala's designs were created. The offer also includes metal furniture from the Vichr company , timeless lighting fixtures by Jaroslav and Franta Anýžová and the GISO brand.
In addition to its own production, Modernista also collects and restores valuable original pieces of furniture, lamps and everyday objects, which are available for purchase in the furniture showroom on Vinohradská Street. Modernista works closely with architects and designers in furnishing interiors - both modern contemporary apartments and buildings and reconstructed historical spaces. During almost 20 years of its presence on the Czech market, Modernista has developed as a specialist in Czech design and applied art, and as a manufacturer and retailer of time-honoured objects from the 20th century and from the design present. However, Modernista has also significantly established itself on the market as an operator of museum and gallery shops. Modernista has been running a museum shop in the Museum of Decorative Arts (UPM) since 2004, and the House of the Black Mother of God in the Czech Cubism exhibition since 2015.
In 2013, the popular Art Shop in the Municipal House was added to the portfolio, and in the summer of 2023 the Gift Shop at the Prague Castle Riding Hall .
In recent years Modernista has also become a partner of important cultural events - it is a supporter of the Lobkowicz subscription of the Prague Philharmonic, a donor to the Via Foundation Charity Auction or a partner of the lectures on architecture Kruh.
Modernista also cooperates closely with Czech Centres
on educational and exhibition programs and spreading the good name of Czech design around the world. The Cubist collection is also a frequent representative gift at important state events
and official state visits.
