For homes
An individual house sign for your home.
A house sign is not assembled in a configurator here. Šimona brings the name, the house number or the street together with a personal motif, if you want one, into a composition made for the architecture of your house.
The sign is carried out by hand in vitreous enamel on copper: the colour is glass fired into the surface, not paint laid on top.
Format, legibility and fixing are resolved for the actual mounting position, not for a sample photograph.
How long a sign stays unchanged outdoors depends on mounting, mechanical impact and the surrounding environment.

Commission 1 of 3. ‘Hrušákovi’ family house sign with pears
Format and placement
Small name plates of around 9 × 11 cm work directly at the door, while larger formats from about 17 × 12.5 cm stay legible from the garden gate. What decides it is the distance the sign is usually read from and the surface it sits on: render, rough stone, timber and metal each call for their own solution.
What to include in the enquiry
The exact wording with spelling and line order, a photograph of the wall or the gate, the approximate area available and, if you have one, an idea for the motif. Nothing more is needed for a first assessment.
Quotation and next step
After the enquiry Šimona reviews feasibility and timing and sends an individual quotation. No price range for finished pieces is published, because format and design make every commission different.
A wedding gift that stays
A house sign carrying the names or the date is a durable original for a shared home: vitreous enamel on copper, hand engraved and fired several times. It is not consumed and it does not end up in a drawer.
Design, making and firing take time, so please enquire well before the wedding date.
- A finished surprise
- You provide the brief — name, wording, format and motif. The sign arrives finished and packed, ready to be given.
- A gifted commission
- You give the commission itself. The couple then settles wording, motif and format with the atelier — useful when the name or the address is not yet decided.
