Best Design Agencies in Prague (2026)

Introduction

Prague has a small, closely connected design scene, and the seven studios below are the multidisciplinary practices doing its most visible work in 2026. Between them they cover editorial and book design, exhibitions, wayfinding, motion and digital, usually for cultural institutions, public bodies and Czech brands.

Several large public commissions shaped the past year. The government approved Studio Najbrt’s unified visual identity for the state administration in July 2025, and ministries began adopting it in January 2026. Studio Marvil’s identity for Prague Castle came out of an open call run by Czechdesign, which also ran the competition for the Jewish Museum in Prague’s new identity in November 2025. The Czech Grand Design awards for 2025 were presented at the Estates Theatre in March 2026, with a new Spatial Design category, and Designblok returned in October 2026 under a new identity by Permanent Office.

Every studio here has a Prague base and recent work to show. The list is in no order of merit. The right studio depends on whether your project leans towards print, space or screen, and on how much of the work you want handled under one roof.

The best design agencies in Prague

1. Studio Najbrt

Independent · Smíchov · najbrt.cz

Studio Najbrt, founded by Aleš Najbrt, describes itself as the leading Czech graphic studio, and the Czech Grand Design database calls it the first creative studio established in the country. It has been recognised in the Graphic Designer of the Year category almost every year since 2006, most recently for 2025. The studio works across identity, typography, publications, web, 3D and motion, and designs for exhibitions, film, music and theatre.

Its biggest current project is the single visual identity for the Czech state administration, with a red shield, a two-tailed lion and a custom typeface, Czechia Sans; the rollout across ministries started in mid-January 2026. Other recent work includes the redesign of the daily Právo (2025), identities for the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and Colours of Ostrava, the Czech Philharmonic’s 130th season, and a brand identity for Avenga.

2. Permanent Office

Independent · Prague 7 · permanent-office.com

Permanent Office is a graphic design and art direction studio on Šmeralova in Prague 7. Its work covers visual identities, printed matter, web design, online communication, animation and CGI, much of it for galleries, festivals and art schools. In March 2026 it won a closed competition, against five other invited studios, to design Designblok’s new logo and visual system.

The Designblok identity uses FK Grotesk Neue and FK Roman Standard from the Florian Karsten Type Foundry, and motion design runs through it, on screens at festival venues and across the city. Other clients include the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, J&T Banka’s Art Index, Voyo, the Gallery of Modern Art in Hradec Králové, Fotograf Festival, UMPRUM and the Academy of Fine Arts.

3. Anymade Studio

Independent · Vinohrady · anymadestudio.com

Anymade Studio was founded by Petr Cabalka and Filip Nerad, both graduates of the Faculty of Fine Arts at Brno University of Technology. It started informally in 2007 and was set up officially in 2009. The studio is based on Mánesova in Prague 2 and combines graphic design with illustration, animation, installation and photography, mostly for the cultural sector.

Its long-running identity for the Prague City Gallery came from an open competition with 90 entries, and it has designed for Czechdesign, the Brno House of Arts, Festival Fotograf, Lunchmeat and Moogfest. It also won first prize in the Most Beautiful Czech Books of 2019 competition for “To je metro čéče”. Recent projects on its site include work for Charles Bridge and a Frida Kahlo exhibition.

4. Studio Marvil

Independent · Prague · marvil.cz

Studio Marvil is a Prague studio run by Olga Hesounová, Vojtěch Vavřín and Jiří Karásek, working in identity, typography, wayfinding, editorial design, catalogues and packaging. Czech Grand Design has recognised it in the Graphic Designer of the Year category eight times since 2010, and two of its projects were in contention for 2025.

Those two projects are the visual identity for Prague Castle, built around the Hrad display typeface by Matyáš Machatan and covering the Castle, the Office of the President and Lány Chateau, and a new orientation system for Správa železnic. The station signage took more than two years and replaced five signs on four pillars with one, using light blue for departures and dark blue for arrivals. Earlier clients include People in Need, CzechTourism, Moser and Brokis.

5. Oficina

Independent · Prague · oficina.cz

Oficina is a Prague studio founded by Lukáš Fišárek, Marek Cimbálník and Vlaďka Cimbálníková. It is best known for motion design, alongside identity, illustration, animation and event concepts. The studio conceived and organises Mouvo, the Czech motion design festival and conference, and won Graphic Designer of the Year at Czech Grand Design for its visual style.

Recent work includes motion design for the Planeta Praha exhibition for the Prague Institute of Planning and Development (2024) and the identity and intro film for Mouvo 2023, themed on generative AI. Earlier broadcast work includes on-air identities for ČT art and Prima COOL. It suits clients who need an identity that has to move from the start.

6. NMDS

Independent · Prague · nmds.pro

NMDS is a Prague creative and design studio founded by Martin Kermes and Martin Jedlička. Its work spans brand design, campaigns, video, photography, product design, web and copywriting, so it can take a brief from identity through to launch material.

The studio works mostly with Czech design and manufacturing brands, including Ton, Tatra, Prim and Lasvit, and has shown its work at Designblok. It is a good fit for product companies that want packaging, campaign imagery and digital assets from the same team.

7. Graphite Studio

Independent · Prague · graphitestudio.cz

Graphite Studio has been working since 1995 and is one of the broader practices on this list. Its services run from graphic design, identity and packaging design and construction to exhibitions and installations, interiors, websites, advertising, video and motion.

Clients include Volvo, GasNet, Nomono, PhotoRobot, Maple Bear and Uni-max. The mix of print, spatial and digital work makes it a practical choice for companies that need trade-fair stands, packaging and a website handled together.

What to look for in a Prague design agency

Start with the studio’s main medium. Prague’s multidisciplinary studios share a lot of ground, but each has a centre of gravity: Studio Marvil and Najbrt are strong in typography and wayfinding, Oficina in motion, Anymade and Permanent Office in cultural identities that change with each exhibition or edition. Ask to see work that is close to your own format, whether that is a book, a stand or a set of animated screens.

Consider an open or closed competition for larger commissions. Many of Prague’s best-known recent identities, including Prague Castle, the Prague City Gallery and the Jewish Museum, were commissioned through competitions run by Czechdesign, and Designblok invited six studios to a closed round. A competition takes longer, but it gives a public body or cultural client a documented choice and a wider field.

Check who will do the work. Most studios here are small, so the designers named in the portfolio are usually the ones on your project. Ask how the studio handles production partners such as type foundries, printers, signage fabricators and developers, since multidisciplinary jobs often depend on them.

Agree early on how files, feedback and approvals will be handled. Identity systems, exhibition graphics and motion pieces produce many versions across print files, renders and video exports. A studio with a clear review routine, and one place where the client can find the latest files and comment on them, is easier to work with over a long project.

How Fabric helps design agency teams

Fabric gives a design studio one workspace for project files, client feedback and reference material, with AI search across all of it. The agency setup suits the way most of the studios above work: one space per client, with briefs, working files, exports and meeting notes kept together.

Print files, renders and motion exports sit in Fabric’s cloud drive, which streams files on demand so they take no local disk space, and heavy files open without a full download. Search works by meaning across documents, images, PDFs and transcribed video, and colour search finds visual assets by shade. Similar search finds related images by composition, colour and subject, which helps when a designer is looking for earlier sketches or a past exhibition layout. Moodboards and early directions can live on a canvas with embedded Figma files and video.

Client review works through sharing. Share a file or folder with the client as a commenter; shared links work without sign-up. With annotations, the client can highlight and comment on PDFs and documents, draw on an image and attach a comment to the drawing, and leave timestamped comments on video and audio, including a drawing on the video frame. The studio marks each comment completed as it is resolved, so a round of feedback works like a checklist. Collaboration roles keep viewers, commenters and editors separate.

When the work is approved, any file or folder can be published as a web page, for example a set of brand guidelines or a press kit. Published pages are view-only, with optional download, and update when the source files change.

Fabric’s plans for studios and agencies are listed on the plans for teams page.
