The new products for this autumn present a sublime synergy of advanced technologies, precision Bohemian glassmaking, and sustainable materials that embody the brand’s commitment to protecting the planet. Both collections were created by BROKIS art director Lucie Koldova, proudly taking their place in a brilliant portfolio of lights by this renowned designer.
Modern yet timeless. Extravagant in its style and use of clean geometric forms. Inspired by architecture. The Overlay collection arose from a synthesis of various materials on mood boards during a creative process that involved seeking ideas and associations between art and design, overlaying different textures, and playing with volumes.
The blown transparent glass tubes instil the Overlay collection with a distinctive character, as does the unique concrete fixture embedded with shards of upcycled glass from Janštejn Glassworks. The piece is cast in different rectangular volumes specifically for each type of light capable of accommodating both simple and multiple compositions. Cradled within the concrete fixture is a delicate sleeve of either frosted or clear glass, its centreline struck by a light tube that seemingly levitates within. The typology of the Overlay collection comprises horizontal pendant variants, table lights, and wall lights that open the door to a new realm of possibilities in lighting art.
The dominant feature of the Prisma collection is an extravagant metal fixture with a distinctive finish. Classic hand-blown glass spheres are anchored to one or both ends of a sturdy decagonal metal prism that gives the collection its name. The shape combined with the striking finish reflects light at different and unexpected angles, like a prism. With a choice of three elegant finishes – brushed steel, galvanized yellow zinc gloss or galvanized yellow zinc matte – the fixture is a bold art object in the home, offering unique vertical, horizontal and diagonal compositions with subtle colored reflections.
The collection consists of a horizontal pendent light with two dual glass spheres and a vertical pendent light with a single glass sphere, both of which hang from wire ropes. Another typological variant is an impressive floor light, a majestic light sculpture in the form of a robust upright decagon topped with a luminous glass sphere. The structured finish on the metal fixture is one of the defining traits of the collection, and together with transparent glass or grey smoke glass constitutes a jewel with which to adorn private interiors as well as hotels and restaurants.
