Nestled in the heart of the Czech Republic's glass-making region, this distinguished atelier connects centuries of Bohemian crystal tradition with contemporary design sensibilities. Their master craftsmen, whose skills have been passed down through generations, work alongside visionary designers to create pieces that transcend mere lighting fixtures to become architectural poetry.
What truly distinguishes these Czech artisans is their commitment to preserving traditional techniques while embracing modern innovation. Each piece emerges from the fiery dance between molten glass and human breath—a delicate process where precision meets artistic expression. The craftsmen manipulate the molten material with tools virtually unchanged for centuries, yet the resulting forms speak fluently to contemporary spaces.
The brand's portfolio spans from intimate residential commissions to monumental public installations. Their signature collections feature hand-blown components arranged in breathtaking configurations—cascading like crystalline waterfalls or clustering like illuminated clouds. The atelier specializes in bespoke creations, working closely with architects and designers to develop site-specific installations that respond to both the physical space and its cultural context.
Materials selection reveals their unwavering commitment to excellence. Only the finest silica sands form the foundation of their crystal, which is then enhanced with proprietary formulations that ensure exceptional clarity and brilliance. Metal components are fabricated with equal attention to detail, often featuring hand-finished surfaces that complement the luminous glass elements.
The design process begins with intensive consultation, where our FCI London team facilitates direct communication between client and creator. Through collaborative sketching, digital modeling, and material sampling, a vision emerges that honors both the client's desires and the space's architectural integrity. For larger installations, scaled mockups may be created, allowing clients to experience the play of light and shadow before final production begins.
Their impressive designer roster includes internationally acclaimed artists alongside emerging talents, each bringing unique perspectives to the medium of glass. This creative diversity ensures continuous innovation while maintaining the atelier's distinctive voice in the design world.
Beyond their ready collections, the brand offers comprehensive customization services. Clients may adjust dimensions, colorways, and configurations of existing designs or commission entirely original concepts. Their technical team provides invaluable guidance regarding installation requirements, lighting specifications, and long-term maintenance.
At our London showroom, we maintain a curated selection of signature pieces that demonstrate the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic vision that defines this Czech atelier. Our design consultants can arrange private presentations of expanded collections or coordinate virtual studio tours for clients interested in commissioning bespoke creations.
The relationship between FCI London and these masterful glassmakers represents a perfect alignment of values—a shared dedication to exceptional craftsmanship, artistic innovation, and creating spaces that elicit wonder. We invite you to discover how these luminous creations might transform your project, elevating it from the merely beautiful to the truly extraordinary.
