“Life is never stagnant. On the contrary, it is in constant flux. Just as we are constantly moving and changing, so too does the A:Live installation. With a set of simple movements, it creates complex and seemingly living compositions. Enjoy this short footage from LASVIT Sanctums exhibition for Milan Design Week 2022.

LASVIT - THE MAKING OF NEVERENDING GLORY

“You begin to think in centuries, rather than years.”

$LASVIT - VOLCANO BY MAXIM VELČOVSKÝ ǀ THE NATURE OF GLASS LASVIT presents Volcano - one of the lighting novelties of 2020. Get ready to play with fire as our Creative Director Maxim Velčovský reveals the nature of his work in the middle of a forest in Northern Bohemia. Near LASVIT glassworks in the Czechia borderland, you can see the panorama of the mountains which were long ago formed by volcanic activity. Designer Maxim Velčovský thought about the process which went into the creation of the glassmakers’ homeland, the shapes of the hot magma and the surface of the hills once the lava cooled down and hardened… “I wanted to create a symbol of the volcano, a pyramid shaped by means of crumpling and deforming metal sheets, so that I might be able to create a specific surface structure which would diffract light. It is thus a little model volcano hailing from our volcanic lands which went extinct long ago,” says LASVIT’s creative director Maxim Velčovský. Wood isn´t the best material for making a form for a perfect cone with this wrinkled surface. Volcano is therefore hand-blown into a form created out of a special material, which is easier to shape. When you think about volcanoes, they are the embodiment of the fire element in the whole universe, and what other material would better reflect this element than glass, which is born of fire as well?
