Pebble Stones

The Langham Hotel, Chicago is located in one of the city’s most famous downtown riverfront landmarks – the 52-story Ludwig Mies van der Rohe-designed building at 330 N. Wabash Avenue. Lasvit’s in-house designers Jana Růžičková and Tomáš Hovorka, in collaboration with London’s Richmond International, have developed two elegant and expansive glass art installations. The installations draw a connection to Czech tradition through the Mies van der Rohe-designed building that houses the installation.

Concept

The installation is comprised of hand-blown glass pebbles in two sets of colors, which are suspended at varying distances. The bubble-like pebbles are individually unique in shape and internally coated in liquid metal, thereby referencing water formations and creating a reflective, mirror-like effect. As visitors move away from the river, located closest to the reception area, the color of the glass pebbles shift from blues and silvers to bronzes and coppers.

Great thanks

We appreciate all these lit people!

I have always liked the simplicity of minimalism and this style is reflected in my designs. Glass is a magical material and a great medium to work with – always challenging, but always bringing new experiences.
