Description
Duna draws inspiration from the mysterious logic of dunes, where nature, free from the rigid rules of traditional geometry, unfolds into a form that is both abstract and perfectly cohesive. This vision comes to life in a three-dimensional, asymmetrical structure where two glass forms gracefully intertwine.
The striated surface of the crystal glass captures and transforms the light, creating fascinating plays of reflection and refraction, like waves of air in an endless desert. Narrowly directed beams of light pass through the mass of glass, illuminating its soul and highlighting every facet of its geometry. The result is a living piece, in perpetual transformation, where light and material dance together, between shadow and brilliance.
Lasvit is a Czech design and glassmaking company founded in 2007 by Leon Jakimič, a native of Liberec in Northern Bohemia—a region with a rich, centuries-old glassmaking tradition. Coming from a family with six generations of glassmakers, Jakimič studied economics at Loyola Marymount University in California and later earned an MBA in Hong Kong. His vision was clear: to merge the historical craftsmanship of Bohemian glass with bold, contemporary design.
The name Lasvit combines the Czech words “láska” (love) and “svit” (light), encapsulating the brand’s mission to bring love and light into every creation.

The new series of light sculptures named Ambra combines volumes of ancient stones and aluminium. Centerpiece is the Mexican “Toba volcánica” stone that consists of minerals, glass and volcanic debris ejected one million years ago during severe eruptions. Fragments in the geometrical surfaces are testament to these explosions and movement.
The contrast between porous textures and smooth dark red underlines the studios contemporary approach on traditional materials and craft. The connecting components between the sculptural stone elements and the aluminium parts originate from an intensive research of linking unique handmade shapes with industrial parts.
