Therefore a set of photographs by Václav Jirásek is focused on the surroundings around Bystřice pod Hostýnem during the four seasons of the year. The landscape is pictured on its own or in harmony with the products. These were taken by Martin Chum in our old factory premises then,” described Jan Juza, marketing director at TON.
