Intergalactic Beauty of Czech Design

photographs by Václav Jirásek

168 pages, 23,5x33,5cm, ISBN 97888090713581

Designblok Cosmos is touching down in a unique metallic capsule mounted on a space-age six-wheeler. Bringing ten original glass works made by ten foremost contemporary Czech designers, this unique exhibition offers an immersive audiovisual show overlooking the infinite vistas of space. Through experimenting with glass – the traditional Czech material – the exhibited objects present unique design approaches, fine craftsmanship and the Czech glass masters’ know-how, while showing the diverse technologies and most cutting-edge production methods used in Czech factories and workshops. The concept for this exceptional show developed in conversation among the Designblok team and the PPF Foundation, who were searching for ways to spread awareness about Czech design in the world.

The Designblok Cosmos exhibition is accompanied by a voluminous catalog featuring interviews with authors and original photographs by foremost Czech photographer Václav Jirásek.

Friends, do you remember that handmade crescent moon/purple lotus stained glass piece I fell in love with a while ago but couldn't get?

Well have I got news for you ~

The girlfriend helped me get it. I am so in love with it. I cannot stop staring at it. Our mediocre kitchen lighting and my phone camera distort the colours like crazy, but it is S T U N N I N G.

(If you read 'Heart of Glass' - I imagine Lan Wangji actually crafting a similar piece for Wei Wuxian one day, once he gets better at glasswork - with the purple lotus blooms to symbolise Wei Wuxian, and the crescent moon for himself. ❤️)

Tyme Green Fox Rig

Tyme Glass says that some of the biggest influences on his work are cartoons and graffiti art. You can easily see those influences in this little fox dab rig. From it’s oversized ears and wide open eyes, to its little body standing on its hind legs, and the big tail working as a stand of sorts. The green frit work on the glass looks phenomenal. Especially when mixed with the subtle blue hues thrown in for that extra little bit of flavor. Simply pop in your favorite banger and you’ll be on your way to having adventures with this cute little fella in no time.

For #FroggyFriday:

Frog trio in amber colored glass by René Lalique (French, 1860-1945), d. 1 3/4 in. (4.4 cm); likely originally a button or stickpin, a guilded brass mount was later added to make it a brooch. Walters Art Museum

Lalique was one of the finest jewelers of the Art Nouveau period, but his movement into mainly glassworks was concurrent with the rise of Art Deco; this piece from 1911 is a good example of this transitional period in design.

Here is an even earlier example:

Frog necklace by Lalique, c. 1902-3, 18k gold, diamond, enamel, and glass. Private collection.

Although this fabulous frog necklace is still from within the Art Nouveau period, these chunky square frogs seem like precursors to the later Art Deco aesthetic, as well as Lalique's own shift from jewelry to art glass. As noted in the 2008 exhibition catalog for Artistic Luxury: Fabergé, Tiffany, Lalique, "Lalique's final designs in jewelry incorporated glass as the major element in repeating patterns of abstracted forms such as frogs" (p. 46; Lalique's frog necklace is cat.152, photo on p. 49).

BTW, that whole catalog is full of photos of amazing pieces, with lots of animal motifs! #BookRecommendation:
