Founded in 2009 in Prague by Pavel Weiser, the name Verreum comes from a combination of “Verre” (French for “glass”) and “Um” (Czech for “craftsmanship”). Verreum aims to revive traditional glass-making craftsmanship, as well as silvered glass-making—a forgotten technique in Europe, which Verreum has endeavoured to re-invent. Verreum collaborates with both Czech and international designers for the creation of its products and—besides the production of its own unique silvered glass—cooperates with the mission of sustaining the glass-making tradition of Bohemia in Prague.
