For twelve years I've made a living doing something I love: rescuing the best of 20th-century Czech and Central-European design — Halabala's armchairs, Jiroutek's EXPO 58 cabinets, hand-blown Bohemian glass from Kamenický Šenov — and sending it to people around the world who fall for it the way I did. Your20th is not a dropship Shopify store. Every piece is real: found in an attic, an estate or a family's living room, authenticated, often restored by hand, photographed with care, and shipped in crated freight so it arrives perfect. It is a curated point of view on an era, built one object at a time. WHAT A BUYER INHERITS Not just a website and revenue — a living dealership with soul, and a moat that is genuinely hard to copy: - The pieces: ~150 owned + ~350 on consignment — appreciating, design-historical objects, not generic "vintage." - The distribution: a vetted seller on the platforms hardest to get onto — 1stDibs, Pamono, Chairish — plus Etsy, Selency, Vinterior and our own store. 12 years, 4.9/5, 5,000+ pieces delivered worldwide, zero damage. Reputation you cannot buy. - The supply: a Central-European network of pickers, families, estates and restorers — the real defensibility, impossible to spin up from outside. - The brand & the eye: 12 years of taste, photography, content and customers who trust it. The upside is open: grow the own store, build trade / interior-designer relationships, add marketplaces and countries, or fold it into an existing design business for instant catalog and hard-to-get accounts. THE NUMBERS Revenue ~EUR 260kredactedto ~EUR 332k (2025), tracking ~EUR 410k this year; top markets US & France. Run lean and tax-optimized, so reported net understates it — the EBITDA shown is normalized owner earnings (SDE); the full bridge and the inventory valuation come under a short mutual NDA. Flexible on structure (cash / earn-out / seller note; inventory valued separately). Fully remote and relocatable, with aredactedday handover. After twelve years I am selling for personal reasons — the business is alive and growing, and I would rather hand it to someone who will love it as I have than wind it down.
