When Mikov decided to produce the new Office Collection, based on a design by young designer Natálie Navrátilová, the main goal was to create innovative, elegant products of the highest quality. The choice of materials and the demanding production process were adapted to meet this objective. Only then could a collection emerge that captivates even the most demanding customers. Modern office tools must meet high aesthetic standards, but they also need to be highly durable.

Thus, stainless steel was the logical choice – except for the pencil sharpener, where duralumin was selected to reduce weight and ensure more comfortable handling. A significant challenge for office tools is their longevity. Carrying them causes surface scratches and edge damage, which degrades the entire tool. Mikov solved this by applying a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating to the metal body of the Office set.

This amorphous, carbon-based technology creates a visually striking protective layer with a hardness nearly matching that of a diamond. An office set conceived in this way is unparalleled on the market, offering a wide range of uses. The high aesthetic standard of its minimalist design makes it a stylish accessory for luxury offices, yet these tools are practical and compact enough for everyday field use. Modelers and architects will find added value in the scalpel with replaceable blades. Artists, for whom a pencil is essential, will appreciate the ergonomic sharpener.

rchivists and secretaries will find the elegant letter opener perfect, while the ruler set with a protractor will excellently serve students and everyone else. Each tool in the set comes in special packaging, designed for Mikov by graphic designer Kateřina Pravdová. This distinctive packaging makes the Office tools an ideal gift – not only for birthdays or retirements, but also for graduations, matriculations, or academic milestones.
