My name is Jiri Krejcirik, a multidisciplinary designer based in Prague. My practice embraces a broad spectrum of disciplines and methods – it transcends the barriers between art and design, from product design through furniture, lighting, glass, interior and spatial design. Whether designing for a client or developing my own self–initiated projects or gallery objects, I always apply the same thorough attention to context, process and detail. As a result, my entire portfolio is characterised by a coherent visual language threading the historical and the cultural through a contemporary lens – with an unexpected edge. Embracing a tradition of craftsmanship, each product is hand-crafted locally, in the Czech Republic, produced in a limited series and being displayed only in meticulously chosen galleries and design showrooms in Europe.

| Description | The collection of luminaries is inspired by the phases of the moon. Its aesthetic is based on the contrast of the monumental hovering glass spheres and the subtle metal construction. Technically, it offers two lighting options. Spheres either reflect the light or glow from the inside. That is achieved thanks to separate lighting circuits. The one dimmable lighting source illuminates the spheres from the inside and the other illuminates the spheres from below, producing a diffused ambient warm light for an evening atmosphere. This atmospheric light is tinted to warm tones without the blue component of the light that suppresses the production of melatonin, which is responsible for our natural sleep patterns. |
