Dare to Dream

The world is over­loaded with infor­ma­tion. Allow your­self to take a break and lose your­self in imag­i­na­tion. Awak­en it with the sym­bol­ism of hand-blown artworks. 

Go to the Opera

Recall the ambi­ence of your favourite opera house at home. Inspired by the sil­hou­ettes of his­toric chan­de­liers from five of the world’s great­est the­atres, the Nev­erend­ing Glo­ry light­ing col­lec­tion is a mas­ter­piece of glass­mak­ing. Hand-blown glass beyond the bounds of the possible.

Visit a Workshop

The con­cept of mingei, or folk craft, has been a major influ­ence on mod­ern Japan­ese design. With spe­cial atten­tion to util­i­ty and restrained beau­ty, it embod­ies the uni­ver­sal appeal of craft design for every­day use. Draw­ing inspi­ra­tion from this phe­nom­e­non, Japan­ese design­er Nen­do cre­at­ed unique lamp sets and called them Press.

Meditate

Since ancient times, many flow­ers have sym­bol­ized peace and love, val­ues as frag­ile as glass. And Alice is sim­ply the per­fect flower – del­i­cate, orig­i­nal and spe­cial, illu­mi­nat­ing any inte­ri­or with a warm and gen­tle glow. Nur­ture your body and mind through dai­ly med­i­ta­tion prac­tice and improve your con­cen­tra­tion. Let every­thing blos­som like this visu­al­ly delight­ful chandelier.

Take a Ballet Class

It resem­bles an ever-chang­ing liv­ing organ­ism. It alludes to volatile emo­tions, inner­most feel­ings and prim­i­tive fears. Like a bal­let dancer, the glass kinet­ic sculp­ture A:Live has its own vocab­u­lary of move­ment and cap­ti­vates with its sophis­ti­cat­ed means of expression.

Visit a Planetarium

Star clus­ters in the night sky and the lights and shad­ows of New York City’s nightscape inspired the design­ers at Rock­well Group to cre­ate their Con­stel­la­tion light­ing col­lec­tion. The series is dom­i­nat­ed by a spec­tac­u­lar chan­de­lier with the rec­og­niz­able sil­hou­ette of the con­stel­la­tion Cas­siopeia. It is set to make you feel like you’re look­ing direct­ly at the celes­tial bod­ies of the ever-expand­ing universe.

Keep Things in Perspective

Some­times we have a hard time deal­ing with a prob­lem and we run round in cir­cles. The best thing to do is to stop and take a step back to see the sit­u­a­tion from a dis­tance. You may get an entire­ly new per­spec­tive and your uni­verse sud­den­ly turns upside down. The Spacey chan­de­lier resem­bles plan­et Earth seen from afar and is made of lithyalin, a glass of unique appear­ance. Opaque, mar­bled and resem­bling semi­precious stones, this glass is pro­duced by means of spe­cial tech­nol­o­gy, invent­ed in north­ern Bohemia more than 200 years ago and now res­ur­rect­ed in the same region by Czech design­er Lukáš Novák.

Learn a New Language

Lasvit Spacial Magazine: Dare to Dream

Do you want to express your­self in a way that only those who know will under­stand? There is cer­tain­ly a rea­son for the Czech say­ing “Every lan­guage you speak makes you a dif­fer­ent per­son”. The Cipher Col­lec­tion gives you the oppor­tu­ni­ty to “write” your own design state­ment using glass, to encrypt the space that sur­rounds you so that only the per­son who speaks the same lan­guage as you will under­stand it. Whether that means Czech, Eng­lish, Ger­man, Bul­gar­i­an, or the lan­guage of mutu­al understanding.

Observe the Clouds

They float over our heads, but we all see some­thing dif­fer­ent in them. Clouds are an ide­al space to train our imag­i­na­tion – what one per­son per­ceives as an ani­mal-like shape, anoth­er sees as a face. A thou­sand peo­ple, a thou­sand inter­pre­ta­tions hid­ing behind one mass of clouds.

Collect Wild Flowers

Noth­ing has a more sooth­ing effect than con­tact with nature. Remind your­self of it every day at home thanks to a spe­cial glass tech­nique that allows you to imprint any flower on the glass. The Herbar­i­um col­lec­tion is a trib­ute to wild nature, to sim­plic­i­ty and to freedom.

Enjoy read­ing accom­pa­nied by a playlist with favourite songs by this issue’s per­son­al­i­ties such as Ken­go Kuma, Vic­to­ria Yakusha, Jan Plechac or Marek Effmert.
