The VETVA shelf, designed by the talented duo Vrtiška & Žák, represents a unique link between natural inspiration and modern design. This imaginative piece of furniture is inspired by an overgrown branch in a tree trunk, whereby the designers have used its shape potential to create an original and aesthetically impressive element. The shelf's fully solid construction, complete with a hidden anchoring system, allows for easy wall mounting and the interconnection of multiple shelves, opening up new possibilities for creative arrangements.
European oak, chosen for its strength and longevity, is at the heart of our production, where we ensure exceptional quality through careful selection of raw materials, in-house drying and subsequent processing over several months. The emphasis on using the best parts of the tree allows each product to be a unique masterpiece.

For regular cleaning and care, we recommend wiping the furniture with a dry and soft cotton cloth. Microfiber cloths are not suitable for treating oiled surfaces because they affect the oiled surface like fine sandpaper. Lightly soiled surfaces can be treated with common preparations containing waxes and oils, e.g. Pronto for wood, when we follow the instructions on the product (it is important that the surface is subsequently wiped dry). Oiled surfaces do not provide as much protection against moisture and mechanical damage as lacquered ones. So, for example, when liquids or food are spilled, it is recommended to wipe off the dirt as soon as possible.
Please do not install on drywall or thinner walls, as they may lack the necessary stability.
Select an anchoring method appropriate for your wall material; for some surfaces, a chemical anchor may be the best option to ensure a secure hold. Always consider the wall type when choosing your installation technique.
Important: Mounting hardware is not included.
The VETVA shelf by Vrtiška & Žák is not only practical, but above all a decorative element that will bring a piece of nature and originality to your interior. Its unique design and the possibility of interconnection create an ideal solution for displaying books, decorations or other objects of personal value. VETVA is a perfect example of how design can be inspired by nature while serving modern demands for functionality and aesthetics.

Roman Vrtiška & Vladimír Žák graduated together from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and became part of a new generation of Czech designers with a broad creative scope. Their work spans architecture, product design, and graphic design. Among their many projects, they designed the HRIB tables, which contributed to a nomination for the Czech Grand Design Award in 2018.
Their portfolio also includes a variety of designs, from the VETVA shelves and the timeless LUNA clock to the challenging task of creating their own chairs.

Solid oak is richly textured; grain and colour vary from log to log and even within a single log (heart- vs. sapwood, radial vs. tangential cuts). Drying and finishing can accentuate these contrasts.
All visible parts of our furniture are solid oak. Some parts of our products, such as cabinet backs or drawer bottoms are made from oak-veneered MDF for stability. The centre beam of each double bed is solid oak.
Additional points to know:
Products such as chests of drawers, chairs, and TV cabinets are delivered assembled. Beds, tables, and coffee tables are delivered unassembled. However, their assembly is very simple - usually only four screws are needed (see installation). The products are packed in five-layer paper carton with special corner protection.
We are happy to arrange assembly and installation for you with our own professional team, who will take care of delivery, carrying, assembly, and of course cleaning up all the packaging and so on.
