Lasvit set to unveil four new lighting sculptures at this year’s Downtown Design
The brand will present new collaborations that add to an already impressive list which includes design studios, architects and solo designers such as Nendo, Daniel Libeskind and Borek Sipek.
Slick and streamlined, yet highly romantic, the Ludwig chandelier by Maurizio Galante makes its debut. Industrial glass tubes scoop and sway to the neoclassical contours while remaining strikingly airy.
Ludwig – Maurizio Galante
Whether hung as a single pendant, or grouped to form a large chandelier, Facet by Moritz Waldemeyer systematizes the traditional. The classic outline has been transformed into a disciplined, hexagonal unit. The light source included in each pendant allows for almost unlimitedly extendable growth.
Facet – Moritz Waldemeyer
The brilliantly colorful Empress fixture was inspired by the popular shape of chandeliers during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa. The crystals are left raw, without final cutting and polishing. This celebratory exposure of the glasswork process is enhanced by a metal coating, which gives the pieces their depth, sheen, and wonderful iridescence.
Empress – Jakub Berdych
An homage to Moldavite, a cosmic glass created by asteroid impact, Intergalactic by Petra Krausova and Libor Sostak fuses ancient history, nature, and inventive design. This large dynamic light sculpture made of green uranium glass has a black base covered with more than 1500 hand-blown glass elements. Both sculpture and base pulse with LED lights, programmed with seven modes and effects that can be controlled by the user with a phone or tablet app. Intergalactic is an inventive example of fine craftsmanship and modern technology.
