	Financial Times In my Czech-mig family, it has long been a point of bourgeois pride that my newly wed grandparents ordered custom-made furniture for their Prague apartment in 1932. Decades later, after Communism had forced them into exile, my grandmother wrote lovingly of the cherry-wood bed she left behind. The frame included a headboard that doubled as a chest for bed coverings, with niches on both sides for bedside lamps. There were also matching dressers for the man and woman of the house (his with a rack for bow ties, hers with a built-in pocket for umbrellas and parasols) and a secretary that pulled out into a writing desk ...

	Men's Vogue You won't find it on any map, but there, in the heart of Dumbo, Brooklyn's riverfront neighborhood of cobblestoned streets and skyline views, lives the bygone republic of Czechoslovakia. Its chief diplomat, Barton Quillen, is not an exiled Eastern bloc apparatchik but a tall 40-year-old American who hails from a long line of East Coast WASP's. Entering Prague Kolektiv, the 3,000-square-foot Front Street showroom devoted to Czech moderne and mid-century design that Quillen cofounded two years ago with the Italian architect Giovanni Negrisin, is like stepping back into the old country - a genuine Bohemia of sleek functionalist furniture, assorted "Czecho Deco" objets, and gleaming chrome desk lamps ...

	New York Times ... Now there are shops like Prague Kolektiv, which opened last fall on Front Street near Pearl, around the corner from 85 Jay. It specializes in furniture made in Czechoslovakia from the 1920's to the 1960's. Giovanni Negrisin, an Italian architect who is the store's co-owner, said he and his business partner, Barton Quillen, settled in Dumbo because of the large spaces, the closeness to Manhattan and the neighborhood's reputation as a design-oriented place, a reputation that has spread far and wide. As he put it: "I had people from Europe, from Italy, from Japan even, come in with articles: 'This is Dumbo; we heard this is the new SoHo.' " ... Read More...

	Ming When referring to design, countries such as Italy, Spain, France, Germany, and even Denmark and Norway, known as the design world's current favorite sons, come to the public's mind. As for the Czech Republic, it seems irrevelant to the design world. In fact, with the demise of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and the birth of the czech republic by the end of the First World War in 1918, czech craftsmen have followed the trend of modern design, integrating traditional design concepts with functionalism to create a unique czech design...

	TIMES ONLINE Are you weary of the sight of a Barcelona chair? Does a friend's Le Corbusier chaise make you want to chuck? And does the prospect of having to park your derriere on an Eames chair make you angry? Sad but true: whatever these design classics once signified, they're now design cliches, as devalued as a Mozart piano concerto used to sell perfume. So where Mies van der Rohe's chair might once have brought to mind the Barcelona Pavilion of 1929, now that you see it in the foyer of every hip City office, it begins to lose its appeal. As for the Le Corbusier, well it might be lovely to look at, but heaven knows it's about as comfy as a bed of nails. And the work of Eames, like so much mid-century American modernism, looks like something you'd find in the home of someone who has read too many design magazines - as demonstrated by that perfectly aligned stack of Wallpaper* back issues displayed on their Eames LTR table...

	TIMES ONLINE James Collard takes you on a modernist tour of Prague. When we think of Prague, we most likely picture gothic spires, that wonderful castle and perhaps above all, those streets of baroque churches and palaces which transport us back to the 18th century - and indeed, have formed the backdrop to costume dramas from Amadeus onwards. But there is another Prague: a city of art nouveau apartment blocks, modernist villas and art deco cafes; a city which is fast becoming a destination for tourists drawn to its 20th century architectural and design heritage - and for savvy shoppers keen to snap up collectibles from the 1920s, 30s and 40s, when Czechoslovakian design was a world-class leader, and a worthy rival to the now much more famous German Bauhaus style...
