EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW //
But most importantly, she is collecting ideas for a house in La-
hore thus she is looking for different textures and finishes to give
the most suitable look to this very old house.
According to Eliská, the most wonderful thing about design is
having a rapport with clients, to gain their trust and to be able to
form something that will exceed the original expectations.
In regards to inspiration, the designer states that travelling, mu-
seums, and galleries truly enhance the elaborate process of de-
signing. She also gazes into the past, and visualizes the future,
and tries to combine said essentials. As a source of her motiva-
tion, Eliská loves warm climates and nature; she loves to visit In-
dia, China, and the wide spaces of Africa, and to fully scrutinize
every moment of her travels.
She frequently attends tradeshows. She admires Maison et Objet
the most, but she also loves Milan. In addition, she focuses on
fairs in London. Nonetheless, her main purpose is to meet talent-
ed people and to witness the amazing creations of such individ-
uals. Eliská becomes aware of everyone from established brands
to small artisans who do bespoke pieces, joinery, ceramics, and
amongst others.
On a philosophical approach, Eliská envisions her designs as
timeless, seeking for contemporary pieces that will satisfy her
clients through the years to come. On a personal note, she also
desires to practice as long as humanly possible.
When asked to describe herself, Eliská says that “my passion is
design so that’s one thing, detail, I am absolutely driven by de-
tail, and I enjoy the response from my clients immensely.” Last-
ly, she advises newcomers to get the best education in design, to
play to their strengths, and not to be afraid of making mistakes
because that is the only way to learn.
