RESIDENTIAL LIGHTING
Keeping the Tradition Alive
In the 17th century, Bohemia began to melt spectacularly crystal-clear glass whose clarity, brilliance and hardness was predestined for engraving and cutting. This glass, which came to be known as Bohemian crystal, became the country’s specialty sought after throughout the world. Glassmakers perfected the craft and passed their knowledge down for centuries, from father to son.
The Secrets of Master Glassmakers
Bohemian chandeliers have always been renowned for their superb craftsmanship.
Despite new technology, some traditional processes in glass light production cannot be replaced with anything else. A perfect glass product will always require the glassmaker’s trained eye and touch of the hand.
The process is unbelievably complex and interdisciplinary, involving many different specializations and teams of experts in respective fields. Every manufactured piece is therefore touched by a number of skilled hands and imprinted with Bohemian heritage, strengthening its surface with authenticity and originality.
Various classic chandelier styles have influenced each other over the centuries, blending and recreating themselves to reflect the trends of the time. This is where we use craft combined with new production methods, materials and technology to create chandeliers that enlighten spaces as beautifully as they did hundreds of years ago.
The Magic is in the Details
The beauty of a chandelier consists of its smallest features. Each glass facet and crystal component is treated with care and precision that justifies its uniqueness. A steady hand and an eye for detail are essential for the elaborate process that transforms glass into a state of art. Even light installations hanging high above people’s heads are expected to impress the senses from all ends and angles. The act of finding the perfect colour hue that would complement the rest of the interior is equally important as anything else.
The atmosphere of the interior as a whole is what matters the most when assessing the final result.
