The more unconventional the brief, the better. My name is Matyáš, and I work as a product and interior designer. I design bespoke furniture as well as complete interiors, including commercial spaces and exhibition installations — from cafés and museums to showrooms. I’m also interested in design for public spaces and temporary installations. In my work, I seek balance between function, aesthetics, and sustainability — approaching each project in the context of the place it belongs to.

My practice draws on experience gained both in the Czech Republic and abroad. In 2020, I graduated from the Royal College of Art in London with a degree in Furniture and Interior Design. After my studies, I worked at the architectural studio Petr Hájek Architekti, where I contributed to the design proposal for the new Czech Philharmonic building, which was awarded fourth place in an international competition.

I further expanded my experience at Foster + Partners in London, where I worked as a Materials Researcher, and later spent nearly two years as an assistant at the Product Design Studio at Scholastika in Prague.

Today, I work as an independent designer, combining product and interior design. Among the projects I will always remember are my collaboration with Hornbach on a prototype of a rainwater fountain, which collects and transforms rainwater into drinking water; a project with the Swedish company Nola, where we created playful public seating installed in the city of Malmö; and the RE-USE competition, which we won with an installation made from driftwood realized in Iceland.

Alongside commissioned projects, I focus on my own product brand Mata by Mata, which connects design, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
