PrahaCluster of 3 Long Sculpture

lasvit > Ceiling lamp

This timeless set of original pendants designed for and installed in the Hotel Praha, a prominent architectural project completed during the 1980’s. Although presenting the best of contemporary design, the hotel was later torn down despite civic efforts to preserve it as a cultural monument. These lights are among the few remaining artifacts. Libensky used varying thicknesses of glass to create a play of rays and shadows on the fixtures themselves as well as the surrounding interiors. Amassing fixtures in a variety of shapes and heights enables diverse effects from a fireball look to more delicate forms resembling a kaleidoscope.

FacetCluster of 7 Sculpture

lasvit > Ceiling lamp

As if trying to systematize the chandelier-making tradition, Moritz Waldemeyer took the geometrical shape of the Classic chandelier outline and turned it into a diamond-like hexagonal glass unit. On its own, with just single pendant, or in combination of multiple items into a large chandelier, the FACET components stand out as clear, disciplined and geometrical.

FungoLarge Sculpture

lasvit > Ceiling lamp

The Fungo chandelier was inspired by the fascinating shape of a mushroom growing on wood. Yet this mushroom didn’t grow in the forest, but was discovered in the basement of Lasvit’s glassworks. The Campana brothers chose to blend this newfound accidental theme with Lasvit’s glassmaking tradition and fuse their techniques with natural materials. The resulting artwork displays a striking contrast between the formal rigidity of the chandelier’s wooden structure and the blown-glass that appears to emerge spontaneously from the wood.

Hidden LightBase Size Floor Lamp

lasvit > Floor lamp

Leading Czech designers Henry Wielgus and Jan Plecháè explored the human psyche when creating the vision for Hidden Light. They equated the essence of light to humanity’s inner spark; a brightness that can free us from the cage of society’s expectations. They materialized this metaphor into pendant lighting and a floor lamp. Large glass pieces were blown into a cage-like metal form, yielding a tremendous, yet intricate mass of glass blocks to build a solid body. Whether in clusters, or as a single focal point, Hidden Light creates a humbling spatial experience in which onlookers can reflect on their own unique radiance.

Inspired by nature, emotion and a unique frozen moment, this lighting sculpture reminds us of our fascination with water. It captures the perfection of the natural movement when water collects into a drop. The entire composition, as well as the individual elements and their shapes play with the magic of water, air and gravity. The harmonious density gradient highlights this instant, providing sensations of depth and motion.

PressLarge Floor Lamp

lasvit > Floor lamp

One of influences which shaped modern Japanese design was the Mingei (Folk Crafts) Movement. It emphasised the pursuit of practical beauty as well as the universal appeal of everyday craftwork design. Still present in contamporary Japanese design, these approaches affected also the design of Press Lamp. Here glass tubes are pressed as though they have been pinched, and the light source is ﬁtted into the narrowed space. It does not rely on a metal form, the compression of the glass produces a soft, organic form and imbues each lamp with a singular appearance.

Small and large transparent pendants multiplied. Spin light’s expression of dynamics is based on a simple rotational form resembling a child’s toy known as the spinning top or the silhouettes of whirling dervishes. It gives the lights a basic graphic impression. Clear transparent airy lamps with a touch of color on top are powered by small LED efficient discs which highlighting strong silhouettes and let them float freely in the space as empty volumes.

EveBase Size Pendant

lasvit > Ceiling lamp

Composed of fifteen glass pieces arranged in one intriguing ensemble, Eve is a chandelier that combines traditional glassmaking techniques with parametric design. Informed by Hadid’s renowned design language, the composition is fluid and organic, accentuating differences between clear and opaque elements. Suspended at varying heights, the glass bodies gracefully float in space and create an impressive play of light and shadow. Its sculptural qualities, notable in daylight, open to new dimensions in the evening.

Memento MoriBase Size Sculpture

lasvit > Ceiling lamp

The macabre Czech masterpiece known as the Sedlec Ossuary (near Kutna Hora) is one of twelve World Heritage Sites in the Czech Republic. It is estimated to contain the skeletons of between 40,000 and 70,000 people, whose bones were artistically arranged by Frantisek Rint to form chapel decorations in 1870. Maxim Velcovsky pays homage to Rint’s actual bone chandeliers by imprinting their shapes into a glass form. Small parts are made by glass pressing, large parts are hand-blown and the chains created by small “bones” paraphrase the “immortal” classical chandeliers.

YakisugiLarge Pendant

lasvit > Ceiling lamp

The renowned Japanese architect drew his inspiration from a technique for preserving construction timber by charring its surface, known in Japan as Shou-Sugi-Ban or Yakisugi. This ancient technique uses charring wood as means to preserve it without the need of painting or sealing, an aspect leading to the current revival of this technique in eco-friendly architecture. Adapting this process to the centuries-old glass craft technique enabled a contemporary design that is unique for every single piece of hand-blown glass.

Globe MetroBase Size Pendant

Colored tiles with a hemisphere in their center were the initial inspiration for the Globe Metro chandelier. These tiles were created in the 70´s for Prague’s metro and Cyril Dunděra, who lives in Prague, had the image of them in mind when he started to think about the lighting. “The tiles in the metro were always a great example of applied art for me. They look great, can shatter sound, and even distinguish each station by their color,” explains the designer.

EmpressSmall Sculpture

Inspired by the traditional shape of chandeliers popular during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, this contemporary reflection on the iconic style brings refreshing new details. The production of its individual trimmings is stopped prior to their final cutting and polishing, showing the pressed glass including its overburden edge. The Empress chandelier is an example of excellent craftsmanship in combination with the raw sense of the unfinished trimming.

Growing VasesBase Size Sculpture

lasvit > Ceiling lamp

Nendo and Lasvit collaborated to create an art piece, which conveys the quixotic appeal of glass as something impractical and incomplete yet provides a breath of fresh air and opens up new possibilities. Created with Czech Bohemian glass, this lighting installation of whimsical nature, alludes to a whimsical glass forest filled with abstract flowers and branches. The principle of a flower and a vase here is turned upside down. By turning the pipes into the flowers and branches and by blowing the glass into a vase, suddenly the vases are blooming from flowers instead of flowers blooming in vases!

LudwigLarge Sculpture

lasvit > Ceiling lamp

Design of Ludwig collection is striving to establish balance between past and future. The bygone romantic era with its neoclassical proportions is reinterpreted with essentially slick, streamlined forms. While the contours remain loyal to their neoclassical style chandelier references, the use of industrial glass tubes imbues this family of spectacular lights with an airy and strikingly modern elegance.

Rene Roubicek´s chandelier designed for Lasvit named by its author “And why not!” refers to his lifelong experimentation and searching compositions and forms incarnated in glass. The chandelier´s emotionally intense sculptural form resembles a flash and is an evolution of Roubicek´s core designs based on dynamic abstraction. Light gliding on large smoothly polished surfaces while absorbed by the mass of the glass creates a unique atmosphere.

DunaBase Size Pendant

lasvit > Ceiling lamp

Duna was inspired by the coherent yet abstract logic of dune formations that defy traditional Cartesian geometries. Its design concept is realized in a three dimensional, asymmetrical, pair of intersecting glass forms. The striated surface of the crystal glass produces ever-changing effects of reflection and refraction. Narrowly directed light sources beam light through the mass of glass into the entire glass element, highlighting its geometry.

MouldsMedium Pendant

Moulds is a collection of suspended lights, showcasing Czech crystal at its most resilient and lively form. The series captures a specific moment when molten glass resists its expected shape and freely escapes from the mould as a random, amorphous bubble. The energizing effect of this series arises from the contrast of materials, using the traditional craft techniques of blowing crystal glass into a beech form. Integrated LED light sources were set directly within the charred form, creating an impression that the heat and energy of the glassmaker’s kiln remained inside, in historic reference to the art of Czech glassmakers.
