The story behind the light
Bird’s Nest
It is the first of the bespoke lightings you see right after entering the hotel. The Bird’s Nest, designed by Linda Šormová Melichová, fills the hotel lobby with a golden glimmer.
Come closer
The light amber and golden glass tubes are seemingly chaotically scattered on the ceiling, like ears of grain, but after closer look you see the pattern’s underlying logic and its specific arrangement.
Ordered chaos
A scrum of 120 lighting branches make a real home. “The sculpture depicts ‘ordered chaos,’ and the spaces between the individual tubes are reminiscent of a bird’s nest. As if the tubes spilled into a regular shape,“ describes Melichová.
Autumn leaves
Want to experience a true autumn in Texas, no matter the season? Another installation in the banquet hall is reminiscent of it at first sight, because its hand-blown components look like 500 technicolored leaves.
A summer wind
The glass sculpture in the banquet hall is the work of Jana Růžičková. “I was inspired by that moment when the wind is playing with colourful leaves, bathing them in the light of a setting sun,“ she says. Do you feel the mood of an Indian summer afternoon?
Hanging or levitating?
Components hanging on thin wires give the sculpture an atmosphere of leaves levitating in the soft breeze.
Each piece is different
Each glass component is shaped by hand by the glassmaker and each is therefore a bit different. The mood of the setting sun is set by the colours which play with shades and hues of amber and champagne.
