Prague, Czechia – Lasvit, the pioneering design house and manufacturer renowned for fusing traditional Bohemian glassmaking with innovative design, is delighted to announce the launch of the “Nebula” collection, a collaboration with the celebrated Swedish design studio, Claesson Koivisto Rune (CKR). This collection introduces a family of minimalist lights inspired by the luminescent expanses of space where stars are born. Lasvit will showcase the collection, which features a pendant and a table lamp, during its presentation at Milan Design Week.
Visit Lasvit at Palazzo Isimbardi to witness the art of glass redefined for a Press Preview on Monday, April 15, from 10am-8pm (RSVP necessary). The exhibition is open to the public from 16-21 April.
The “Nebula” collection, crafted with an expressive and organic form, has an otherworldly aura. At the heart of each piece lies a diffusing glass lens, ingeniously designed to transmit light upwards towards a mirror-like, metalized crystal glass reflector. This design element not only amplifies the light but also spreads it gently across the surface beneath, creating a serene ambiance reminiscent of Nebulas, the celestial nurseries where stars are born and that dot our universe.
The collection is available in three elegant metal finishes – Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold – and offers two sizes of table lamps along with a ceiling lamp variant. The collection’s metalized crystal glass reflector transitions seamlessly from a domed, mirror-like top to a clear glass body, anchored by a sculptural, metalized base. This gradient effect gives the Nebula an otherworldly presence, while its reflective dome dynamically mirrors its surroundings, adding an ever-changing character to the piece.
The use of borosilicate glass, shaped into a bulb and treated with the metal plating technology, ensures that each lighting fixture remains an aesthetically pleasing object, even when unlit. This fusion of minimalist design and innovative glassmaking techniques embodies the collaborative spirit of design, craftsmanship, and technology that defines the partnership between Lasvit and Claesson Koivisto Rune.
Behind the collection are Mårten Claesson, Eero Koivisto, and Ola Rune, the trio of architects and designers who have been pivotal in shaping contemporary Scandinavian architecture and design since 1995. Their multi-disciplinary approach, grounded in a deep understanding of historical contexts and a commitment to sustainability through quality, has led to the creation of award-winning buildings and projects globally.
