Completed in 1979 to mark the 62nd anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution, the building was conceived as a showcase of cooperation between Soviet and Czechoslovak engineering companies. It was no ordinary structure – it was a modern space that brought together service, parts sales, and the presentation of technological innovations under one roof. At first glance, it was intended to represent the country’s technical advancement. While the architecture was designed by Pavol Frištacký, the interiors were entrusted to the trio of Miloslav Mudrončík, Juraj Párovský, and Ivan Petelen. They created custom furniture for the space in the spirit of progressive “technicist design,” which does not hide industrial details but instead makes them the main visual feature. The surviving pieces are now extremely rare and represent a valuable example of late modernism for collectors. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
