Lasvit at ICFF 2023

Lasvit, the world-renowned Czech glassmaking and design company, is delighted to return to The International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF), USA’s most important fair for contemporary furniture and interior accessories. Lasvit will present its best-sellers as well as some of its most striking recent collections created in collaboration with world’s leading designers.  

Constellation

by David Rockwell

The overarching theme of the New York presentation will be the starry night, building on the Constellation collection, created for Lasvit by the award-winning architect David Rockwell. Rockwell’s inspiration came from New York City’s shimmering night sky and the celestial landscape depicted in the iconic ceiling mural at Grand Central Terminal.  

The collection includes new pieces – the Ursa Minor chandelier, Cassiopeia wall sconce, and Gemini table lamp. The three designs expand the collection that previously contained a horizontal chandelier, a wall sconce, and a floor lamp, each representing the constellations of Cassiopeia, Tri Star, and Polaris respectively.  

Miles

by YabuPushelberg

Miles is inspired by many parallels between music making and glass blowing. Formally there is a clear nod to brass instruments, an image that springs to mind when watching Lasvit’s craftspeople blowing glass. Less clear is the constant balance that must be maintained when pushing glass making to its limit, one between innovation and the physical constraints of the material and techniques. We might see that same balancing act being performed during a trumpet player’s solo or a jazz vocalist’s scat.  

Symbioosa

by LLEV

The Symbioosa collection is a tribute to mycelium, the fungi to which we owe the existence of plants and other important manifestations in nature. While light gives energy to all life, mycelium, on the other hand, grows underground, quietly and without light. Featuring floor lamp and table lamp, the illumination of Symbioosa collection figuratively grows out of the darkness to shine.
