Design classics of Soviet-era Czechoslovakia

Nanovo Shop sells hand-picked vintage housewares and designy tchotchkes and doodads from Czechoslovakia's Soviet era.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

heh, looks like i can start selling out the old stuff in my grandparents basement and loft.

The wrist watch, .5l beer mug and modular table lamb looks interesting tho.

Neat. My ancestors are Czech. I guess for the longest time it was just known as Bohemia.

it’s a good thing I understand some Russian because I can’t tell what the hell half of those things are by looking at them.

Have always loved these clock and watch faces. Wish I knew of some affordable, similar looking watches available here in the states. At 77 euro, that mounted hanging clock is a bargain!

I’ve got that chair with ottoman in my living room. Good to know other people think it’s awesome too. I guess I’ve got good taste.

Wow! Prague spring! Makes me want to read Vaclav Havel and cheer! (with beer, of course…)
