Brokisglass is a new Dimension in glass

Brokisglass is a product of the ecological manufacturing practices of Janštejn Glassworks and Brokis, whose close collaboration has given rise to a unique new material made of glass shards. BROKISGLASS adds an exciting new dimension and aesthetic to glass. In the manufacture of lighting glass, which Janštejn Glassworks specializes in, 30% of each handblown piece is discarded.This valuable material resource is typically seen as waste. The development of BROKISGLASS was driven by a need to change the perception of these glass shards as waste, which previously was hauled to a landfill and thus burdened the planet and had a negative impact on the environmental landscape. Made from shards of glass discarded during the manufacture of BROKIS handblown glass lighting collections, BROKISGLASS has brought about a significant reduction in waste material. The transformation of these shards into a new decorative product represents an environmentally friendly and efficient upcycling of material, thanks to which the Janštejn Glassworks is able to employ a strategic circular economy and thus contribute to the creation of a healthy relationship between nature and humans.

“BROKISGLASS is a very progressive material, and I firmly believe it’s going to be highly successful. I see it as an excellent alternative to other materials, and the range of possible applications is very wide. It all comes down to the creativity of the architect or the designer. It can be used as a diffusor, tabletop, decoration, wall object, emblem, or even a coat of arms.”
