"Skalický always emphasized that he did not create a collection, but that his collection is part of building a space for living. At the turn of the 1950s and 1960s, he and his wife decided to adapt their parents` house in Náchod to the needs of a young family. Their goal was to avoid the offer of standardized furniture sets and create a modern interior that would reflect their lifestyle and individuality." /Jiří Pátek (ed.), Útěcha bydlením.
