Health and improving lifestyle through the state-of-the-art design of medical products is our focus. The name Zdravý/Healthy Design is not, in essence, limited to something that is healthy, but also something good, correct, useful, helpful and aesthetically satisfying. Zdravý/Healthy Designs make sense in each of these aspects.
Our dream is to see happiness and fulfil the dreams of others for a wide consumer market, including non-profit organisations. It is both a pleasure to work towards fulfilling this mission as it is intrinsically rewarding to work with people who are handicapped.
