UP závody is a Czech design and manufacturing company continues strong tradition of the most significant Czech furniture manufacturer of the last century. In the first half of the 20th century, UP závody became known to furniture connoisseurs the world over. At that time, Czech furniture was able to find its place in the international market thanks to its unique combination of timeless design, functionality, traditional craftsmanship, original business strategy and attractive marketing. The extraordinary talent and efforts of UP’s lead architect, Jindrich Halabala, played an indispensable role in the success of the UP brand, which soon became a paragon for other manufacturers. The new UP závody is inspired by this tradition and aims to build upon the once famous UP brand by combining the best of contemporary Czech design with high-quality craftsmanship.

UP závody was re-established in 2007. The new furniture line, suitable for both private and public interiors, came into being under the artistic direction of Maxim Velcovsky and represents an authentic statement by designers who have come into the spotlight in recent years due to their outstanding work as well as featuring the re-edition of Jindrich Halabala’s work.
