Home Decor Sculptures ‘Drops II’ by Jitka Skuhrava

The focus of this series of home decor sculptures is the inspiration of nature. In this case, it is the natural shape that the ice takes at the shore of the lakeside as the warming waters slowly burrow deep into its core.

Jitka boldly takes the molten glass on the end of the blowpipe and hand blows each one to resemble some of the natural forms made by the retreating ice.

Sumptuous forms are borne into the world. No two are ever the same. Each one is more beautiful than the next.

N.B. The images shown are an example of the ones in the series. Each piece is handmade and therefore there will be small variations in colour and shape. Each one is completely unique and signed by the artist.

Home Decor Sculptures – Artist

Czech glass artist Jitka Skuhrava comes from a long line of glass makers. She, along with her collaborator and husband, Tomas Kamenec are both following in the glassmaking tradition of their parents and grandparents.

With over 100 years of family tradition to draw from, they have won admirers and clients around the world. Their bespoke creations can be found in commercial spaces and private residences.

They use their own Czech-based studio and local glass technologists to deliver their work wherever in the world their client is based.

Specialising in glass lighting installations and sculptures since 2007, they have been working on delivering fantastic glass art sculptures and luxurious light installations around the world.

From department stores to high-end hotels, and casinos to corporate lobbies, their work can be found in cities across the planet.

Their lighting installations enhance the beauty of the architecture and deliver light in a wondrously designed, contemporary artistic style that perfectly befits the building.

Their bespoke glass lighting installations combine the refined beauty of a well-crafted lighting system, with the artistic imagination of the glass art that encapsulated and delivered the light itself. Once blended, they become intrinsically linked in the art aggregate.

As well as being a powerful art duo in their own right, Jitka and Tomas collaborate closely with other renowned designers, including Nendo, Daniel Libeskind, Arik Levy, Michael Young, Ross Lovegrove, and others.

Artist Statement
“Glass is a fascinating material that has been part of our whole lives, and it still does not cease to amaze us with its fragile and unique beauty. We love creating personal and original designs. We see the process of our artworks from the beginning to the end; we respect the quality of every individual part and often refine the glass ourselves with our own skills by hand.”
