The managing director of McDonald's
Czech and Slovak Republics, Martin Dlouhý, spends only part of the
week in the office; the rest of the time he is "in the field".
But he still has very specific demands about his work space. Three
years ago, with the assistance of architects Luboš Zeman and David
Marek, he rebuilt it into a distinctive, airy space that combines
functionalism and minimalism.
Photographs of my children create a pleasant atmosphere.
The lamp does not really go with the rest of the interior,
but it has accompanied me for several years, it is a piece
of nostalgia, that's why I keep it.

Among all the awards, for me the most valuable are the President's
Award, in praise of my work, and the McIron Man that I won
in our company's sports contest.

The furniture, including the Rovofun chairs, is supplied
by Interior PFD International.

I chose the painting personally in the studio of the painter,
Jiří Votruba, and I think it makes a nice counterpoint to
the rest of the office. The door is almost always open,
which says to colleagues that they can come to see me any
time.

A very interesting light - Martini by Esagono. The intensity
can be adjusted according to need.

The office must make an impression of lightness and airiness;
it's a matter of feeling. During work I love a lot of space,
that's why I wanted a big table. I spread everything around
me, which helps me to think.
