Translucent
The Translucent Collection was designed by sculptor and designer Rony Plesl who ranks among top internationally renowned artists in the field of glass sculpture. His unique oeuvre emerges from his deep knowledge of quality glassmaking and the technologies he employs in his original designs and primarily in his artistic work. In collaboration with glass professionals, he shifts the perspectives of the possible in the medium of glass both for contemporary art and for his own body of work.
Rony Plesl (*1965, lives and works in Prague) is a leading Czech artist, sculptor, designer, and professor. Plesl’s work is unique both in the field of fine arts and in the field of design. Rather than challenging current trends, he has followed impulses from various disciplines throughout his life. Plesl explores the possibilities of glass sculpture, deliberately approaching it as a distinctive medium. He respects the work of his predecessors – Professor Libenský and others, who founded this relatively young discipline in the Czech Republic – while also respecting the history of the craft.
