I create beauty. I am a glass designer and artist. I design from jewelry, vases, bowls to large lighting installations and entire interiors. Do you want to have an original chandelier made of Bohemian crystal or an author's vase? Contact me and we will arrange. I have many years of experience with product development of the glass portfolio for companies such as Preciosa lighting, Bomma or Sans Souci. From the first sketch, to the modeling of designs, visualization, client changes, technical drawings, mock-ups, installation drawings, commissioning and author's supervision of the implementation - I will guide you professionally through each phase of the project.

Description | Handblown vase Adore made from traditional bohemian crystal, decorated through unorthodox technology of material inclusion. In the result, chance plays a role and the final form cannot be determined with certainty in advance, therefore each piece is an original. To find a suitable material that would withstand the heat of molten glass without change is not exactly easy. Most either burn out completely or unsightly blackened and incinerated. To add to those requirements, the material must also have very similar thermal expansion. Otherwise, the included material would eventually tear the final product to pieces as it cools down. And that is certainly not desirable. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the inclusions very carefully. The vase is on display at the Prague Art Gallery, which is part of the organizing team of, for example, the Stanislav Libenský award. |
