lasvit > Table 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.
YakisugiBase Size Table Lamp
lasvit > Table 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.
Neverending GloryLa Scala Floor Lamp
lasvit > Floor lamp
Jan Plecháč and Henry Wielgus sketched the shape of the Lasvit Neverending Glory chandeliers by rotating the silhouette around its own axis. The large pieces of glass, for which even the wooden moulds are enormous are so demanding to produce that it would not be possible to create anything bigger. In the individual silhouettes, it is possible to recognize iconic chandeliers from five of the world’s most eminent concert halls and theatres; La Scala in Milan, Palais Garnier in Paris, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, the Czech Republic’s Estates Theater in Prague, and the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow.
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.
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.

Globe MetroBase Size Pendant
lasvit > Ceiling lamp
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.
DunaBase Size Wall Sconce
lasvit > Wall 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.
UovoSmall Sculpture

Like something from a fairytale, Uovos – eggs – sparkle like a radiant and mystical gem in a faraway land. These reflective art glass lighting sculptures shines like a mountain of precious rounded mirrors, capturing nearby objects and multiplying them to infinity.
CipherHorizontal S Pendant
lasvit > Ceiling lamp
Cipher collection is a juxtaposition of heritage techniques and contemporary form. Its delicate hand-blown crystal cylindrical pieces are cut with clean, clear lines. Light emits only from connection points and the sources are ingeniously hidden to soften the overall effect. With components arranged in series and joined by polished champagne-gold finished connections, Cipher’s overall linear form creates a poetic visual rhythm. As a system, the Cipher collection is extremely flexible and customizable, with limitless possible configurations for private residences and bespoke installations projects.
SpaceyEclipse Pendant
lasvit > Ceiling lamp
It’s said that a sphere is the most perfect shape in the universe. And sometimes, one can discover the whole universe within this one shape. The variability and immeasurable beauty of the Universe is captured in Spacey thanks to a special technique called lithyalin. It looks like gemstone, yet it is actually glass. This technique was invented in Northern Bohemia more than 200 years ago and has now been resurrected in the same region by a Czech designer.
Crystal RockBase Size Table Lamp
lasvit > Table lamp
Certainly not from the Stone Age but closer to the fictional Kryptonite, Crystal Rock appears in the cave of the future as an ambassador to the fusion of nature and man, light and reflection, transparency and mass. All these characteristics are gathered within a perfectly cut, yet roughly sculpted contemporary silex. Its multiple reflections and deflections fascinate onlookers during the day and even more at night, when lighted.
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.
GlittersBase Size Table Lamp

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.
And Why Not!Base Size Sculpture
lasvit > Ceiling lamp
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.
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.

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!

PressBase Size Pendant
lasvit > Ceiling 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.

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.
