LUXURY
RADYNEThis chandelier, bearing a golden crown on top of its central vase, was named after the mediaeval castle of the same name, which, translated, means Charles’ crown. | |
| |
KASPERKThe imprints of timbered closets in the Kasperk castle, founded by Charles IV in 1356, inspired the designer to create a chandelier bearing the name of this castle that guarded the Golden route that wound its way through the Kasperk Mountains to the then gold mines. |
VLCTEJNDesign elements similar to the pyramidal arrangement of bobeches in the Radyne and Valctejn chandeliers symbolize the architecture of these castles. | |
| |
STRAZOVThis chandelier’s slender central parts are reminiscent of the mediaeval stronghold Strazov’s watchtowers guarding the trade routes that ran from Bavaria through the Zelezna Ruda mountain pass to Bohemia. |
| |
FLABELLOAn open fan attracts attention by its dazzling array of both light and lurid colors, giving name to this chandelier whose Marea surface finish emits brilliant rainbow flashes. |
| |
HUMPRECHTThe Humprecht hunting lodge’s ellipsoidal internal and external structural elements nesting together inspired the configuration of richly cut bobeches to form this luxurious chandelier. |
TRADITION

MILLENNIUMContrasting black and white stripes represent two millennia mingling together – the past with its wisdom of generations and the present with its new opportunities and limitless possibilities. |
| |
DELICATEFragility and delicacy are synonymous with this chandelier that enchants us by its delicate structure, subtle cut and precisely drawn patterns on all the fixture’s components. |
| |
MAMZELLEThe design of this chandelier’s contrasting bobeches was inspired by the operetta heroine Mamzelle Nitouche’s split personality – the crystal bobeches symbolize monastic chastity, while the metal bobeches epitomize the gloss of actors’ glory. |
| |
CROCUSJust as its first buds work their way through the last patches of snow, this tender spring flower has inspired the design of this chandelier’s sand-blasted crystal curves. |
| |
PIEROTA spurned lover in a black and white tunic, disguised as a chandelier with his glass tears running around the fixture’s edges. |
| |
SATRIANIPaying tribute to the outstanding guitarist, the design of this exclusive chandelier emulate strings vibrating at the touch of strumming fingers. |
