Are you drawn to the architecture of the last century? Then you won't miss Ivana Palecková's work either.

Ivana is a graphic designer, illustrator, and photographer who, under the Čierne diery banner, brought Bratislava's PKO building, Nová Doba, and the House of Art in Piešťany back to life. Her collection will soon grow with a series of 12 iconic structures from Vladimír Dedeček's studio.

As a graphic designer, she gravitates toward smaller family brands and local projects she can work on in their full scope. Beyond creating visual identities, she enjoys developing brands through communication and print materials. You might recognize her touch in Modrá pupava natural cosmetics, on Big Tiny Dot jewelry packaging, or for the Rabada textile studio.

She doesn't shy away from projects that don't look like graphic design at first glance. Recently she said yes to designing a relief for an elementary school wall, and in the future she'd love to try her hand at mosaics.

Ivana created the illustration for our online collection Jemné melódie. She herself wears the delicate yet timeless Lrene model from Polish studio Albert I'mstein. Tune into the wavelength of subtle silhouettes and discover similarly elegant frames here.

"I like variety. In my work, it often can't be otherwise. One day I'm creating a logo, the next I'm cutting out a paper packaging prototype, the third day I'm illustrating, shooting photos, or writing texts."
