You will know how much you are attached to home only when you give up on it. Just a few weeks away from home and you will begin to miss the old famil­iar scents, the same old proven vis­tas, the light that pass­es by at the same time. Home is part of our self-def­i­n­i­tion and what we tru­ly are, which is also the rea­son why are we will­ing to indulge these exten­sions of our­selves with the best care possible.

“I don‘t think that archi­tec­ture is only about shel­ter, is only about a very sim­ple enclo­sure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.”
Zaha Hadid

The “And Why Not!” light fix­ture is the embod­i­ment of design­er René Roubíček’s life­time pas­sion for experiment,a as well as his undy­ing effort to cre­ate unique light com­po­si­tions. The piece, designed by this sig­nif­i­cant glass artists, recent­ly illu­mi­nat­ed an instal­la­tion in Hong Kong.

The One Thou­sand Muse­um res­i­dence in Mia­mi fea­tured Dune light­ing, designed by icon­ic archi­tect and design­er Zaha Hadid togeth­er with Maha Kutay and Woody Yao from her stu­dio Zaha Hadid Archi­tects, based on the prin­ci­ples of asym­me­try and Carte­sian geometry.

The light­ing instal­la­tion My Stream was cus­tom-designed by Petra Šosťáková for a pri­vate res­i­dence in the May­fair quar­ter of Lon­don. She cre­at­ed a del­i­cate flow of light that lev­i­tates through­out the heart of the entire house.

The Pres­i­den­tial Suite of the five-star Four Sea­sons Hotel in Seoul, South Korea, was light­ed by the Crys­tal Cal­lig­ra­phy instal­la­tion, designed by Jana Růžičková.

The Gold­en Sum­mer instal­la­tion is rem­i­nis­cent of an after­noon sun, reflect­ing from hot sand. It was designed by Petra Sošťáková for a pri­vate res­i­dence in Surabaya,
Indonesia.

The Dance, a mon­u­men­tal crys­tal instal­la­tion, appears to be a sparkling DNA helix that winds its way across all six floors of a Lon­don res­i­dence, each with sep­a­rate con­trol circuits.

The Droplets light com­po­si­tion embod­ies the laws of nat­ur­al ele­ments, as well as the mag­ic of tra­di­tion­al craft in glass pro­cess­ing. It was designed by Jan Plecháč and Hen­ry Wielgus.

“When design­ing the Droplets light­ing sculp­ture, we found inspi­ra­tion in emo­tions and nature. We man­aged to cap­ture that fas­ci­nat­ing moment when water forms per­fect droplets, thanks to the effects of air and grav­i­ty.”
Jan Plecháč & Hen­ry Wielgus

Design­ers Wan­da Val­ihra­chová and Táňa Dvořáková trans­formed a family’s mem­o­ries into a unique light­ing instal­la­tion in a pri­vate res­i­dence in Lon­don. The six-meter light­ing in the entry hall is com­posed of three hun­dred hand-craft­ed com­po­nents that take on the shape of flow­ers of var­i­ous sizes and morn­ing dew, nat­u­ral­ly extend­ing the bloom­ing gar­den in the front of the house.

Hand-blown crys­tal bub­bles rise to the ceil­ing over the din­ing table like bub­bles in cham­pagne – a pop­u­lar asso­ci­a­tion with joy and the cel­e­bra­tion of excep­tion­al moments.

The Plisse light fix­tures designed by Mau­r­izio Galante serve as jew­els in an apart­ment in Khamovni­ki, a promi­nent Moscow quar­ter. The recon­struc­tion was car­ried out by the Dsee­sion stu­dio – archi­tect Vale­ria Senk­i­na and design­er Julia Lenskaya.

Ital­ian design­er Mau­r­izio Galante built upon his expe­ri­ence in the world of haute cou­ture when cre­at­ing the Plisse chan­de­lier. Thanks to his vision, the glass mir­rors the del­i­cate curves typ­i­cal for fine tex­tiles that are lay­ered around the axis of the piece.

“Is it pos­si­ble to stretch a line between the stan­dard, the pop­u­lar, the dupli­cat­ed and the unique? Can the basic live with the elab­o­rate, the com­mon with the rare? The every­day is not nec­es­sar­i­ly about rep­e­ti­tion and rou­tine: it can be mag­i­cal!”
Mau­r­izio Galante
