Starcloud, by Lucie Koldova

Starcloud is a captivating masterpiece of stellar beauty—a mesmerizing nebula of lights gracefully blending into the night sky. This bespoke collection of pendant lamps is based on an abstract astral form, seamlessly flowing into three distinct objects: Atria, Lyra, and Vega, each one a work of art among its celestial companions. These stars project subtly different optical effects depending on the viewing angle, appearing to grow and shrink or pause in a state of perfect symmetry.

Suspended from fine coaxial cables of varying lengths, the delicate blown-glass shades are available in three finishes: opaque opaline, pearl pink opaline, and pearl grey opaline.

The collection offers six predefined sets of various sizes, each with its own custom ceiling canopy, but there are no limits when it comes to mixing and matching the luminaires in original compositions. Starcloud thus provides a remarkable degree of versatility, inviting users to create their own unique indoor starscapes.

Spectra, by Lucie Koldova

The outline of Spectra resembles the classic typology of a table lamp, the kind that has always accompanied us during late-night work sessions. The archetypal silhouette, rendered in a concept of pure forms, features an opening with a dual-sided light source enclosed in an aluminum fixture. The flat source gently casts its light in two directions—upward and downward into the glass base—creating intimate, atmospheric effects. The lamp comes in two sizes and is available in clear, brown, smoky grey, or opaline glass. Light intensity can be modulated using the built-in dimmer.

The mantle, which serves both as shade and base, evokes a sense of lightness and height. The glass is blown using a specialized technique that allows the mantle to be crafted as a single piece. The overall design of the lamp underscores the idea that beauty lies in simplicity.

Dome, by Marco Marín

This lamp is a tribute to classical Roman architecture. The new Dome collection of pendant and table lamps follows the success of Dome Nomad, an earlier collection inspired by the grand domes of Venice, evoking the timelessness and vastness of the celestial vault. The elegant shade, made of multiple layers of molten glass—each one meticulously inspected by the master glassblower before being blown—is available in smooth or rippled clear glass. Soft illumination comes from a modern LED source hidden beneath an opaline diffuser.

The table versions reference Dome Nomad and serve as elegant interior elements. The pendant versions, with their airy arches, are ideal above dining tables, whether in multi-light compositions or as a standout piece. Dome offers a delightful design experience for both residential and commercial spaces.

Convex

La nueva colección Convex Brokisglass®, está creada con un material único hecho de fragmentos de vidrio que nace de las prácticas de fabricación ecológica de Janštejn Glassworks y Brokis.

Diseñada y fabricada en forma de lente convexa, amplía los límites de la función y la representación visual. Junto con un cuerpo minimalista y elaborado con precisión, crea una luminaria discreta pero poco convencional. 

The new Convex Brokisglass® collection is crafted from a unique material made from recycled glass fragments, born from the eco-conscious manufacturing practices of Janštejn Glassworks and Brokis.

Designed and produced in a convex lens shape, it pushes the boundaries of both function and visual representation. Together with its minimalist, precisely crafted body, the result is a discreet yet unconventional luminaire.

The utilitarian design—highlighting the beauty and optical properties of glass—is well-suited for a wide range of residential and commercial applications. The Convex collection includes a pendant and a wall light, each available in two sizes. The wall version can also be mounted on the ceiling. Finish options include clear triplex opal or a blend of clear and grey triplex opal, with darker fragments gradually becoming lighter toward the center.
