Czech Republic / Company ID 08418373 +

Studio Lexová & Smetana formed by friends and former classmates of the Product Design Studio at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. The former collection of mirrors Mirror Stage started a collaboration that has been going on since 2018. In the studio, we design products, interiors, scenography and small architecture in the form of exhibitions, sales windows or presentation stands. In our portfolio we have projects of various sizes, from smaller ones such as sales windows or small architecture, to larger ones, intended for mass production. Currently, Terezie is graduating at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague and Štěpán works as an assistant at the Studio of Glass at the University of Jan Evangelista Purkyně in Ústí nad Labem.

Description	Interior mirrors Mirror Stage, the assemblage of arms, legs and surfaces. The liberation of the mirror into the space where it lives its own life. Are you familiar with the children’s games of recognising one’s self in front of a mirror? Becoming aware of one’s own Self for the first time. From this moment we have been searching for a coherent image of one’s self. We have identified ourselves with a vision of someone more capable and more complete. Thus begins our journey from the imaginary space of mirroring, where our Self and our identity come into existence, across the symbolic space, the impersonal sphere of society where we accept our position. The position constituting a very significant part of what we call reality. Let us relive it. Find out who you are.
