Design and production
The four elements of glass art
The collection of four "elements" was a great challenge for the creator, the glassworks and the owners. This collection is not a decorative object or a mere applied art. It goes much further, higher and deeper. Jiří Šuhájek, the author of this quartet, used the mysterious alexandrite, underlaid by other transparent or opal tones, to remind in a unique way the elements, the basic building blocks of life, and thus pay tribute to the miracle of evolution. We are very honored to have been able to participate in this project.
