2024 has come to its final month, which means it’s time for the festive season – and with that comes Christmas shopping. Are you looking for unique gifts for your loved ones (or yourself)? Then you’ve come to the right place! 😉 First off, we’d like to remind you of our gift vouchers, which can be redeemed when purchasing tickets to our year-round guided walks and tours – a perfect way to have an unusual architecture-themed experience. Do you prefer material gifts? You can check out our online store and browse gifts not only for those who love Prague and its architecture. Aside from our permanent product range, we have made a limited edition of apparel titled Schwarzplan, which won’t be available again once it sells out, as well as a few brand-new items. By purchasing our products, you support our year-long activities, including the upcoming 11th Open House Prague festival.
Is there a better way to let off steam than by doing jigsaw puzzles? The architecture-themed puzzle series are the new items in this year’s product range. You can use them as gifts for your loved ones and enjoy fun holidays together. Those who are up for a challenge will welcome the 1000-piece puzzle with Prague Schwarzplan, and those who enjoy functionalist architecture will love the 500-piece puzzle with ARA Palace created by illustrator Jan Šrámek.
With long winter months ahead, we have also made cozy new unisex hoodies. Produced from organic cotton, they come with a Schwarzplan print on the back, which we previously debuted during this year’s Open House Prague festival as part of the limited edition of apparel. Schwarzplan is appreciated mainly by architects because it shows the urban structure of a city, but we guarantee you that anyone will look stylish in these pieces. 😉 You can choose from two colors (black and white) and styles (with or without a zipper). Any clues as to what part of the city is shown?
Let’s face it – there’s no better Christmas gift than socks. The black-and-white Prague Schwarzplan pattern from the limited edition will be loved by anyone who craves a unique yet quality item that doesn’t get worn out or boring quickly. To prevent the socks from disappearing mysteriously from the washing machine, we recommend the variant with snaps. You’ll be thankful for this practical hack anytime you fold the socks after washing. The limited edition also includes small pouches and last pieces of bum bags and t-shirts for both children and adults.
Posters with illustrations of important Prague constructions made by Jan Šrámek are a popular staple in our store. The collection features posters with iconic buildings such as the Winternitz Villa, Fanta’s building at the main train station, the former Electrical Enterprises, New Stage of the National Theater, and more. The posters can be purchased either separately, or in a discounted pack of three; you can select the three posters based on your preference. There are 11 variants to choose from in total.
There’s no Christmas without ornaments that help create the perfect Christmas atmosphere. You can shop our unique DIY series of paper ornaments with architecture-themed patterns. The whole family can take part in putting these ornaments together; it will only take you a minute. There are two sets of ornaments; the first one is dedicated to Jan Kotěra, while the other one was inspired by the work of Pavel Janák. Each set comes in red and blue. The ornaments were designed by Dita Krouželová.
Are you wondering how to be as eco-friendly as possible, even during Christmas? Instead of wrapping paper, pack your gifts with our hand-made, architecture-themed cotton bags! Produced carefully and locally, each bag is unique and comes in two sizes and colors (red and blue). Gift wrapping has never been easier – just put your gifts in the bag, pull the satin ribbon, and you’re done! Don’t forget to save the bags for next Christmas or other occasions. Like the paper ornaments, the bags were designed by Dita Krouželová.
For the first time, we are also offering you gift certificates of membership in the Architecture Lovers Club, which includes several benefits. Club members have the unique opportunity to see behind the scenes of the festival and meet the organizing team. They will also discover architecture in new ways and get their own copy of the Festival Guide. Other products, such as matching cards, coloring pages, and t-shirts, are also available in our store.
