The most interesting ideas arise from the combination of experience and courage. At OAKCENT, we believe that a top company must invest in the environment in which it operates. That is why we have become a partner of the Department of Architecture at Prague's UMPRUM.
At OAKCENT, we design, manufacture, and supply oak floors for exceptional interiors. We understand the value of honest craftsmanship, but we know that without new impulses, the industry cannot grow.
We do not take on the role of someone who simply writes a check. We support an institution where aesthetics, technology, and a deep respect for materials come together. We invest in the development of the emerging generation of creators, as they will soon shape the form of both public and private spaces.
"A craft without new impulses will eventually stagnate. And it is precisely the students and young creators from UMPRUM who bring lightness, courage, and the ability to look at things without unnecessary stereotypes. This is inspiring for us," explains Karel Hrdlička, owner of OAKCENT.
We are not a passive sponsor.
Architecture needs a strong foundation. This year's donation was directed specifically towards the realization of architectural studio projects. Our goal was clear: to provide creators with the conditions in which they won't have to cut ideas due to a tight budget.
"We wanted to give the Department of Architecture the freedom to showcase its potential and talent to visitors in full strength," adds Lenka Němcová, Head od Architecture & Design Partnerships at OAKCENT.
Space for creation without compromises.
This intergenerational dialogue and contact with people who are not yet bound by routine inspires us both ways. It is our real contribution to the development of Czech architecture. We are creating an environment for top quality and reliability, which we guarantee in your projects.
Real benefit for the field.
