This thesis is devoted to the topic of representation of Italy in the travel literature by Czech writers in the period before the First World War. The corpus contains the following lyrics: Rome 1906-1907 by Josef Svatopluk Machar, Memories from a journey to Italy by Josef Stejskal and Summer in Italy by Jaroslav Hilbert. In the first part I will introduce and describe historical and cultural development of Italy and also the fact how the Czech lands looked up on Risorgimento. Then I describe the individual authors, their literary works and selected corpus works. I define the circumstances of the origin of the text and find the answer to the question why cited authors focused just on Italy. In the second part I analyse the selected works thematically, I create a synthesis and in conclusion I assess, how in the period before First World War, the Czech society was looking up on Italy.

In my thesis I write about what I as a cabinet maker can contribute with in a design process and construction process of a piece of furniture. From past experience there is often a lack of expertise among the architects and designers in areas like construction and material knowledge at design studios. I have in cooperation with Svenskt Tenn and their range manager chosen a sketch by Josef Frank from the archives, a sketch that never left the drawing table. Josef Frank, trained as an architect, was not a cabinet maker and therefore he didn’t have the same knowledge about construction as, for example, the famous cabinet maker Carl Malmsten. This you can clearly see in Franks sketches. The sketches that he drew leave you with a lot of questions that you need to find the answers to before the manufacturing can begin and this is my thesis is about. It’s up to me as the cabinet maker together with the knowledge of Svenskt Tenns range managers about Josef Frank and his design to create a piece of furniture that is as close as possible to Frank’s sketch and ideas. The result of my work is a prototype of a table that has been developed after analysis of a simple sketch. I have identified and solved a number of problems such as; materials, the appearances and construction of the table. I have from my studies realized the importance of the cabinet maker’s knowledge in a design process. With this knowledge I can help and guide the designer/outsourcer/producer forward to a more sustainable and better developed product.
