Collector’s series of jewellery boxes (120 pieces in total). Each piece is hand numbered. “Glass artist and designer František Jungvirt and Slovak jeweller Ján Jánoš present a joint project. In it, they shift the perception of jewellery from a purely feminine affair to a masculine and unisex plane. For the silver, handmade rings from Atelier Hora, Jungvirt designed a collection of black, hand-shaped and cut jewellery boxes.
A series of vases/objects inspired by the spring planting of flowers and the awakening of nature from its winter slumber. The vases are hand blown into a wooden mould made from unique pinkish erbium glass. The unique subtle colour transition in the glass is caused by the so-called colouring glass rubies, which are hot-packed onto the base bulb of the glass.
