LASVIT

This year’s PULSE Architecture & Design awards were designed by Lasvit's Art Director Maxim Velcovsky Velčovský and crafted from hand-cut Czech crystal by our glassmakers. “It’s more than just a trophy – it’s a functional object for creators. Whether you display it in your library with its gold-plated inscriptions visible or use it on your desk, the 3D pulsing line and sharp edges make it perfect as a holder for pencils, markers, brushes – tools for designers and architects.” Sized exactly to A4, it even works as a stylish paperweight for your sketches.

Slow, Powerful, and Timeless: A Dynamic Installation for a Private Residence in Gstaad A private client living near a Swiss glacier commissioned Glaciero to bring the powerful, natural beauty of the glacier into their home. Deeply connected to the surrounding landscape, the installation aims to capture the awe and tranquility of living alongside such monumental natural formations. The resulting piece, featuring integrated lighting that shifts across a spectrum of colors, evokes the intricate interplay between light and ice, transforming it into an immersive interior experience.

And it's a wrap! The International Glass Symposium in Nový Bor has just wrapped up, leaving behind a trail of creativity and plenty of glassy-eyed enthusiasts. The event brought together master glassmakers and avant-garde artists from around the world, celebrating one of the world's centres of molten magic - the Novy Bor glassmaking community. One of the symposium's key locations was the fiery heart of Lasvit - our AJETO GLASSWORKS & TAVERN. From delicate masterpieces to daring experimental techniques, the symposium once again showed that glass is anything but fragile when it comes to pushing the boundaries of handcrafstmanship.

Designblok United: Global Icons and Local Talent At this year’s Designblok, Prague International Design Festival, the largest design festival in Central Europe, Lasvit, Konsepti, and Designbath once again brought our community together for a joint event celebrating local craftsmanship and international creativity. The event welcomed global stars and our collaborators, including Kengo Kuma (KENGO KUMA & ASSOCIATES, Ron Arad, and ClaKoRu Claesson Koivisto Rune. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us—your support, creativity, intelligence, and humor made the night unforgettable!

"In Bloom," the Beating Heart of Hong Kong’s New Zaha Hadid-Designed Landmark We are thrilled to unveil "In Bloom," a site-specific glass installation designed for the lobby of The Henderson, Hong Kong’s latest architectural icon by Zaha Hadid Architects. This dynamically lit artwork, inspired by Hong Kong’s balance between urban energy and the natural wildeness of its surrounding hills, spans 4.5 meters in diameter. Composed of glass elements evocative of delicate dragonfly and butterfly wings, "In Bloom" pulses with light, infusing the space with life—and becoming the symbolic beating heart of this remarkable building.

A dynamic dance of light, fluttering like a veil over the desert dunes. This installation above the grand entrance of St. Regis Via Riyadh reacts to the strength and character of the wind thanks to sensors placed on the roof of the building.

We’re excited to return to the Monaco Yacht Show 2024, where our lighting designs are featured on some of the world’s top superyachts. Michaela Kozák, Silvia Preda, and Karolína Andělová from our Nautical Team will be available from September 25th to 28th at Port Hercule to discuss how Lasvit’s lighting solutions can elevate your next project. As we prepare for the event, we’re proud to share our "Deluxity" installation from last year's visit aboard O'Rea / now Malia by Golden Yachts Ltd and Massari Design which recently won the International Yacht & Aviation Award 2024 for Best Lighting. We look forward to meeting you in Monaco!

Lasvit is proud to have been part of the first La Regatta by Zuretti Design, an event that brought together key figures from nautical design and beyond. For the occasion, we created the event’s signature trophy, a piece designed to capture the waves frozen in motion within a sail shape, reflecting our commitment to craftsmanship and precision. Thank you to ZURETTI Design and all the partners for an unforgettable experience.

At Cartier’s flagship store in Paris, set within remarkable interiors by Moinard Bétaille, our fused glass lighting installation takes center stage. Crafted in Lasvit’s glassworks using bespoke stencils and fused in our kiln, the result is an abstract glass flower, adding a subtle yet distinctive glow to the space.

As the London Design Festival begins, we reflect on the stunning installation at The OWO: Poppies, a breathtaking sculpture by artist Petra Sošťáková. The common poppy is a delicate flower that was a popular ornamental motif frequently used in Art-Nouveau interiors. Yet it is not a noble rare flower, but a common field species that reproduces easily. Poppies last a day before they begin to wilt and are very delicate to the touch. The flower symbolises vanitas, the transience of life. LASVIT #TheOWO #LondonDesignFestival #ArtAndDesign #LondonLandmarks #Sculpture
