PS Sending Flowers

Imag­ine a vil­la with a grand stair­case. A home you have been com­ing back to for years. It is filled with trav­el mem­o­ries, it is where you are hosts to friends when they vis­it your town for a few days. Imag­ine a vil­la that is full of life. And now, imag­ine an abrupt change. It is still you, it is still the same place, but the joy­ful ambi­ence is no longer there. Because of the pan­dem­ic, you can only dream of trav­el­ing. You yearn for the remote lands, and for your friends, but they are so far away. 

For­tu­nate­ly, there is a magi­cian close at hand who can help. A mar­ried cou­ple liv­ing in the vil­la with the grand stair­case received flow­ers in envelopes sent by their friends from Lon­don, New York and the Aus­tri­an Alps and we used our mag­ic to pre­serve these flow­ers in glass. Cus­tom made with the utmost care, and with courage to make their home joy­ful again. 

“A Czech mead­ow, a wed­ding bou­quet and a trop­i­cal orchid – all can be embed­ded in glass in Herbarium.”

Clear glass casts com­ple­ment the pieces in which the traces of plants are gild­ed. The light instal­la­tion looks as del­i­cate as ici­cles and makes one won­der – where did the flow­ers come from, who sent them, what were they think­ing about and what are they think­ing about right now?

Fused glass tames the wild­ness imme­di­ate­ly. Dried flow­ers, herbs or twigs burn with heat to leave a trace that reminds you every day what is tru­ly impor­tant. The Herbar­i­um col­lec­tion was cre­at­ed by the Lasvit team of design­ers, Mária Čulen­ová, Petra Dick­ová and Štěpán Gudev.

“When you always want to see what reminds you of your clos­est friends.”

Each glass piece with a flower is unique. In the small chan­de­lier, 27 of them hov­er in the air; the largest instal­la­tion con­sists of 265 casts. It is entire­ly up to you whether you want to have the Herbar­i­um assem­bled from Czech plants or have our mas­ter glass­mak­ers pre­serve in glass the flow­ers you bring.

“We send flow­ers to make your day nicer, and we look for­ward to see­ing you.”

Avail­able are three stan­dard ver­sions of the light instal­la­tion — round, oval and made-to-mea­sure. Of course, we can also cre­ate a cus­tom- made ver­sion, per­fect­ly adjust­ed to the place it is expect­ed to decorate.

You can observe the glass pieces direct­ly or enjoy their reflec­tions on var­i­ous sur­faces in the inte­ri­or. In a vil­la with a grand stair­case, the inter­play of reflec­tions pro­duced by the Herbar­i­um instal­la­tion details of the pieces looks beau­ti­ful, for instance, on an old piano.

Clear glass casts complement the pieces in which the traces of plants are gilded. The light installation looks as delicate as icicles and makes one wonder – where did the flowers come from, who sent them, what were they thinking about and what are they thinking about right now?

Available are three standard versions of the light installation - round, oval and made-to-measure. Of course, we can also create a custom- made version, perfectly adjusted to the place it is expected to decorate.

You can observe the glass pieces directly or enjoy their reflections on various surfaces in the interior. In a villa with a grand staircase, the interplay of reflections produced by the Herbarium installation details of the pieces looks beautiful, for instance, on an old piano.
