My name is Jiri Krejcirik, a multidisciplinary designer based in Prague. My practice embraces a broad spectrum of disciplines and methods – it transcends the barriers between art and design, from product design through furniture, lighting, glass, interior and spatial design. Whether designing for a client or developing my own self–initiated projects or gallery objects, I always apply the same thorough attention to context, process and detail. As a result, my entire portfolio is characterised by a coherent visual language threading the historical and the cultural through a contemporary lens – with an unexpected edge. Embracing a tradition of craftsmanship, each product is hand-crafted locally, in the Czech Republic, produced in a limited series and being displayed only in meticulously chosen galleries and design showrooms in Europe.

| Description | The intention was to achieve a sophisticated harmony with this collection. Not reduction, minimalism and abundance, but complexity, variety and tension. Jiří Krejčiřík created forms and compositions that are not a typical for a world of glass by exploring how the perceiver reacts to unfamiliar aesthetics and how his perception changes over time. The main intention was the interest in the perception of the perceiver after his return to the object, which he initially perceived as disharmonious and unbalanced. Each object is unique, unique and signed original. |
