Monotropa: Czech Craftsmanship Rooted in Nature and Simplicity
Founded in 2021 by designer Klára Janypková,Monotropa began with a simple yet ambitious aim: to bring the richness of Czech craftsmanship to an international audience. With a background in interior and product design, Klára blends visual originality with artisan quality, creating timeless pieces shaped by her dream interiors and love of travel.

The name was inspired by a white, non-photosynthetic wildflower called Monotropa Uniflora. This ghost plant gets energy from green photosynthetic plants using certain fungi, mycorrhizal with trees.

Looking ahead, Monotropa continues to connect the dots between local artisans, global influences, and a design language rooted in simplicity and material honesty. Drawing from the past to shape a slower, more thoughtful design future.
