Petr Mudra: from designer furniture e-shop to developer partner

Petr Mudra: how an online designer furniture store became a partner to developers and furnished a thousand apartments in a year

Furnishing more than a thousand investment apartments in a single year is a task not only for logisticians but for those who can organize the work of dozens of specialists into a single mechanism. That is the result with which the Czech company Momenti, led by CEO Petr Mudra, has reached a new level.

Not long ago, the brand, which started many years ago as the online store Designovynabytek.cz, supplied designer furniture mainly to private customers. The idea was to bring items from famous international brands into Czech homes. To keep up with a fast-changing market, the company underwent a rebrand last year: after ten years, it updated not only its visual style but also its strategy, expanding its range of services.

“The main change over the past year is that we stopped being just an online store of designer furniture. We build on the experience we gained working with our sister company ARBYD, and we have also significantly expanded our warehouse and logistics capacity,” Mudra says. As a result, Momenti has moved from classic retail into the segment of developer and large B2B projects.

Responsibility that does not end with handing over the keys

The brand’s current shape rests on the principle of comprehensiveness. According to Mudra, furnishing rental housing has long ceased to be just about delivering furniture: you need to offer a ready-made turnkey solution, from the first design and production to installation, maintenance and care of the interiors. “We have become a strategic partner for developers and investors who need to equip entire projects quickly and functionally,” he says.

The shift toward B2B was not only a commercial opportunity. The company gradually built up its competencies and experience, which led it to larger orders. From a furniture supplier, Momenti has turned into an equal partner whose main trump card is a turnkey solution with minimal burden on the investor. The goal is to hand the developer an apartment or commercial space fully ready for occupancy and to save their time. That was the case, for example, with the Tři boudy apartments in the Krkonoše mountains and the Lucern show house.

When developers bring dozens of apartments to market and look for standardized, cost-effective solutions, Momenti steps in. The company joins at the design and budget optimization stage, organizes the production of custom furniture, manages installation and logistics, and handles the handover of the property and subsequent service. This, according to Mudra, is what Momenti wants to stand out for: the company offers an extended warranty and support that help developers minimize downtime and quickly repair damage to interiors.

“In rental housing today, it is not only price and the look of the furnishings that matter, but also how long they will last and how quickly they can be refreshed. One area we had to build really systematically on the project side is extended warranties. On some projects we work on a model where we discuss the warranty extension individually and directly with the manufacturers and agree on a warranty for the specific project,” adds Petr Mudra.

Full fit-out: from apartments to offices and a secondary school

In 2025 alone, the company took part in furnishing more than a thousand residential units within rental housing and developer projects. “A few years ago we were doing individual interiors. Today we supply entire buildings and dozens of apartments at once, delivering residential, commercial and public projects,” Mudra explains.

Among the most notable works is the unique Lihovar rental housing complex in Prague’s Smíchov district. In the restored red-brick building, Momenti received the order to complete the interiors of 182 apartments, which were turned into stylish homes.

“In the Pilsen project Mint Living, carried out together with our sister firm Arbyd, we also supplied the final solution for more than a hundred apartments,” the company’s CEO describes another major order.
