About us
We are a collective of designers and glassmakers who share a passion for creating unique glass objects. Our mission is to connect the tradition of Czech glassmaking with modern influences and innovations from various fields of design. We collaborate with creators from many sectors of art, design, and craftsmanship, which brings a fresh perspective and original approach to our products.
We work with various types of glass, primarily glass melted into molds, which we complement with other materials. This allows us to create unique combinations and new dimensions in glass creation. Each piece is handmade with care and love, and is not only an artwork with its own story and soul, but also a valuable investment. Our work brings timeless beauty that remains valuable for future generations.
Our story
Our project was born out of a profound personal experience that revealed the powerful connection between art, emotions, and memories. The inspiration came from the story of Martina Sikorová, whose work in hospice care, alongside her extensive experience in production, galleries, and art, led to the idea of creating lasting, artistic, and personal symbols of the final journey. This vision, rooted in the deep human need to preserve memories, became a reality thanks to the dedication and support of Lucie Čechová and Karel Holub, who are the pillars of this project. Together with our partners and authors, we continue to pursue this vision further.
Our mission is to bring a new dimension of art to life and death. Our works are not merely aesthetic objects; they are deeply emotional artifacts that connect art with life stories. We offer clients the opportunity to have a unique, personal symbol – a commemorative object for those who have departed or a symbol of a life journey for those who wish to define how they will be remembered.
This project is both deeply emotional and an investment. Many of our clients commission works for themselves, choosing the form of their legacy while creating a lasting symbol that merges personal investment with powerful artistic and aesthetic expression. We take pride in offering pieces that unite beauty, meaning, and narrative. Each of our creations is not only a memory but also a legacy that transcends time.
Our goals
Support for Sustainability – We believe in a responsible approach to the environment and use materials and processes that minimize negative impacts on nature. Our goal is to create products that are not only beautiful and unique but also gentle on our planet.
Support for Art – Our primary aim is to support and promote artistic creation. With every project, we strive to ensure that our work contributes to the preservation and development of artistic traditions and innovations, both locally and internationally.
Revitalization of Funeral Art – We aim to approach funeral themes with respect, sensitivity, and creativity. Our goal is to revitalize this often overlooked area of art and offer a new perspective on death and memory, grounded in the depth of human experience.
Delivery of Unique Works to Families – Every one of our works is unique and created with the purpose of bringing not just beauty but also a personal and lasting symbol to families. We ensure that each work we create is delivered into the hands of those who will appreciate its meaning and value. In this way, we bring art directly into the hearts of families and create memories that will last for generations.
