The Press Collection by Lasvit explores the optical possibilities of glass through forms shaped by pressure during the production process. Rather than treating glass simply as a transparent shade, the design emphasizes its physical substance, surface and ability to distort and refract light. The resulting pieces have a strong sculptural presence, with illumination revealing details in the glass that may be less apparent when the fixture is switched off. Press draws on the centuries-old Bohemian glassmaking tradition that remains central to Lasvit, while using that craft knowledge to create contemporary lighting rather than reproducing historic forms. Each piece reflects the material qualities inherent to artisan glass production, making Press particularly suited to interiors where lighting is expected to function as a collectible design object as well as a source of illumination.
