OUR DESIGNERS
Jiří Vencl, the head of the creative team, has trodden a different career path to get to where he is today. He has worked in his field for more than 20 years without having formally studied art, glass or technology. Possessing imagination, as well as manual skills and a technical mindset, he seeks out new forms and solutions. The designer’s creations epitomise the constructive look and are complemented by a sense of beauty that refines his realistic view of design.
Monika Šilhánová brings her creativity and practical approach to the design team. Her designs are often a combination of purity of shape and fine detail. Her work is recognisable for its abundant use of colour, which adds individuality and turns the lighting fixtures she designs into statement pieces. She works primarily with glass, which she has recently successfully combined with metal structures. Šilhánová’s sophisticated compositions are created by multiplying several elements; and her individual residential lighting fixtures are equally impressive.
Veronika Janda Šindelářová considers the lighting fixture a jewel decorating the interior of a room; the central decoration of the space, which is an integral part of the room. The viewer should be captivated by it at first glance. This thinking stems from her experience and training in jewellery and glass craftsmanship. These aspects are clearly visible in her creation of small segments composed in a whole, or the use of materials typical for these fields. Fineness and variability characterise her contemporary work as a lighting designer. Apart from this, she also specialises in her own work and explores the boundary between art and design. Participation in domestic exhibitions such as Designblok and Designweek brings her the experience in contemporary design thinking. She perceives design as innovative and unique.
