(also referred to as Šupich Houses) - a complex of three multifunctional buildings built in the author's specific style with elements of cubism and modernism. designed by architect Emil Králíček.
The office building was built between 1912 and 1916 on a large corner plot vacated by the demolition of the baroque Aehrenthal Palace from the beginning of the 17th century. On the site of the former palace, the Lucerna Palace with an arcade and a cinema and the Rokoko Palace with an arcade and a theater were later built.

Cubist lamp installed on Jungmann Square
Prague
Emil Králíček, designer
"Emil Králíček also designed several additional noteworthy objects, including the unique Cubist lamp installed on Jungmann Square in New Town. Together with the neighbouring Gothic gate of the Church of Our Lady of the Snows, they create a magical, mysterious, almost fairytale nook. The candelabra is of artificial stone and consists of a series of stacked truncated pyramid shapes decorated with simple sculpted ornaments."

Sur cet immeuble de rapport à l'allure classique pour le compte de Matěj Blecha (propriétaire d'une des plus grandes entreprises de construction de l'époque) de petits détails art nouveau se sont frayés un chemin. Le plus grand exemple est cette porte dont l'encadrement végétal permet d'y voir, selon moi, des hortensias et des branches de pommiers. Mais au milieu de ses entrelacs, deux jeunes garçons trônent au dessus de ces chapiteaux. Ils ont trop de caractéristiques pour être de simple putti issus de la Renaissance. Et pourquoi portent-ils ces grand objets spécifiques ? Ne serait-ce qu'une partie de frisbee immortalisée ?
