A modern interpretation of crystal: masterful traditions, new technology, a return to nature
Added 19.3.2021 14:48.06
Traditional crystal chandeliers have been crafted in Bohemia since the beginning of the 18th century. Their modern interpretation, however, pushes the boundaries in a way few of us can imagine. This is a nearly unbelievable combination of the glassmakers’ skills, know-how passed down from generation to generation, and sophisticated new methods and technology.
Today it is standard to use economical, innovative LED technology, thanks to which we can't even tell where the electrical circuits are. Laboratories are used for testing the hardiness of the materials and for 3D modeling, which allows the customer to precisely picture how the finished chandelier will look. At the same time, it is admirable that a significant portion of the crafting of modern crystal chandeliers is still done by the hands of Czech master glassmakers.
In harmony with modern households and nature
A modern household can best be characterized by these concepts:
• Minimalism: in today's overwhelming, stressful era, more and more of us long for simplicity, airiness, and lightness in our homes.
• Natural materials and design: for furniture and other furnishings, frequently chosen materials are wood, stone (or imitation stone), and warm, natural colors like green, beige, white, and so on. This makes our homes oases, where we can relax and feel good.
• Hi-tech technology: we welcome whatever saves us work and money. Intelligent, energy-saving appliances, remotely controlled locking and unlocking...
Crystalion Collection
Crystalion is the new, remarkable collection from Artcrystal. This collection unites all the elements of a modern household; it's based on a return to nature, to our roots.
Experienced Czech designers have perfectly combined minimalism, freshness, and youth with unconventional modern design. The light fixtures resemble natural shapes such as shells, tree trunks, insect cocoons, amulets (hearts), and water. Let's take a closer look:
Cocoon
The Cocoon light fixture is handmade. Every piece is original.
At first glance it resembles the cocoon of a silkworm, which protects the egg from danger.
Traditional Czech crystal is complemented by glass wrapping, which creates the effect of a natural cocoon.
Amulet
This light fixture resembles an ancient heart-shaped amulet, which symbolizes love, harmony, and joy.
Just like the Cocoon, this fixture is hand-crafted, so each piece is uniquely colored.
Seashell
The beautiful Seashell light fixture is crafted in the form of a natural shell, symbolizing both new beginnings and mystery.
Hand-applied gold adds its magic to the crystal.
Water
Water is one of the basic elements of Earth without which life would not exist. Our Water light fixture is inspired by that very element of water.
This Water design is also 100% handcrafted – in this case, hand-drawn glass technology is used, in which molten glass, color, and air bubbles are fused.
Innovative LED technology (chips) allowed us to light up individual drops of water.
Let's draw from nature and create cozy homes to which we are happy to return each day. Perhaps even with the help of light fixtures from the Crystalion collection.
