Mastery of the Craft

Furniture That Lasts for Years, Not Just a Season

Production Under One Roof

We build on a foundation of quality craftsmanship. Arqsit isn’t just a brand—we’re a manufacturer with a tradition dating back to 1993. Metal bending, welding, grinding, powder coating, upholstery, and assembly—all under one roof. We export our products primarily to Scandinavia. However, you’ll find them not only north of the Arctic Circle, but also in Czech public spaces, where they withstand years of heavy use.

SUSTAINABILITY

Materials by Origin

For us, quality is the foundation of sustainability. A well-designed and well-crafted product will serve you well for decades. That’s why we pay close attention to design, craftsmanship, and the selection of materials. We select them with their environmental impact in mind—from carefully chosen PUR foams to water-based varnishes and plywood. The result is lower emissions where the furniture is made and cleaner air where it is eventually used.

Milestones for the Arqsit Brand

1993

Martin Petrů Sr. enters the furniture industry. After several years of buying and selling products from Italy, he decided to start his own manufacturing business. The reason was simple: to ensure and guarantee quality. He rents a warehouse, buys machinery, and, together with 13 employees, is building a new company from the ground up.

2000

The founder's son, Martin Petrů Jr., joins the company. Production gradually expands and requires new space. This was provided by Building 8 on the Svit Zlín campus.

2006

In addition to developing and manufacturing our own products, we also work on special projects for Scandinavian and Swiss clients. Their demands are higher than anything we had encountered before. That’s where our real learning began.

2013

Most of our products are shipped to Scandinavia—beyond the Arctic Circle—to restaurants, galleries, and public spaces. However, we also have projects in the Czech Republic, such as the food courts at the O2 Arena and the Olympia Brno shopping center, modular seating at the Czech National Bank and the Czech Post, and furnishings for the Resort Valachy hotel chain.

2026

MMP Metal’s potential and the quality of its workmanship propel the company forward. Martin Skopálek and Jiří Šesták join the management team and become owners. In August, the company is renamed Arqsit and moves from its Zlín facility to a newly renovated building in Otrokovice. Its first product is the Molni collection of modular furniture by designer and brand art director Adéla Bačová.

Design That Puts People First

It suits everyone

When developing our products, we keep in mind the people who will use them—their experience of the space, their comfort, and their specific needs. That’s why, in many of our collections, you can choose from options that are also suitable for people with limited mobility.
