Presidential Oath

Ceremonial set for the inauguration of the President of the Czech Republic Petr Pavel on 9th March 2023. The set consists of case, a ceremonial sheet and a metal pen. The design of the plates is representative and statesmanlike, yet minimalist and timeless. The metal plates are made of the noble metals dural and brass. The brass parts accentuate the mechanical and decorative part of the plates. The contrast between the materials is supported by the production technology, and their distribution also corresponds to their function. The duralumin part is made by a computer-controlled milling machine, the brass pen is turned, the form of the oath-promise is hand written by calligrapher Petra Dočekalová.
