The Collection of Design was founded in 1961 by the first acquisitions
which pertained to the cutlery sets designed by Ján Čalovka in Sandrik;
the famous "Brussels" cutlery from 1958 also found its way into the
collection. The cutlery collection was later complemented by sets by
Marián Drugda and Ladislav Greppel.
However this collection was built sporadically and through accidental purchases. This
was also demonstrated in its profiling. The design collection is
fragmented and inconsistent.
The field of textile design is
reduced to the designs of film-print decorative textiles by Slávka
Pecháčková, designs for decorative and upholstering fabrics by Viktor
Holešťák-Holubár, place settings by Júlia Kunovská and fashion designs
by Vlasta Hegerová from the 1960s. It is complemented by implemented
designs of clothing by Marta Bošelová, Michaela Trizuljaková-Klimanová,
Karol Pichler and the prototypes of designs for footwear by Ján Čalovka.
Interior design is particularly represented by Lighting by
Peter Lehocký, Michal Gavula, Peter Humaj, as well as the "granny's" lamp
by Sylvia Jokelová. The collection of furniture design is not
extensive. It contains several implementations by František Jirák,
Michal Ondruška, Júlia Kunovská and a relatively precious set of
interior solutions by V. Holešťák-Holubár.
