Sculpture-Inspired Luxury Lighting

We believe that lights are like jewels used to create beautiful spaces.

Creativity

Our collections blur the boundaries between art, sculpture and design. Our lights are a form of expression and beauty. They are a focal piece, jewellery for the home.

 

Handcrafted in London

Meticulous craftsmanship is at the core of what we do. Each piece is handmade to order by a small team of makers in our London-based workshop.

 

Traditional craft re-imagined

Our goal is to help support traditional craft industries with our contemporary lighting collections. We re-imagine classic material processes for a modern audience.

Where possible we manufacture everything in the UK. For some components we also look further afield and partner with industry-leading craftspeople such as Czech glass artists and Italian stonemasons.

 

Background

Born to an English mother and a Czech father Marc was raised with a diverse cultural background. Growing up between London and Prague has given him an appreciation for both cultures and sparked a passion for travel and exploration.

His family have deep rooted connections with craftsmanship and a legacy in the Czech glass industry. His ancestor Frans Wais, was the brother in law and business partner of Daniel Swarovski. Together they created and patented the first electric glass crystal cutting machine that revolutionised the glass industry.

His upbringing has fuelled a passion for heritage craft and given him an understanding of the important role that craft industries play. Inspired by his heritage, glass still remains his primary material and much of it gets produced in the next village from his grandparents’ farmhouse to this day.

“My work draws on the skills of the best craftspeople I can find. Over the years I have nurtured great connections with our artisans and feel a deep sense of responsibility towards them and the communities that their crafts support”.

“It’s hugely rewarding to work with makers at the top of their game and a thrill to be able to contribute to industries with such rich histories.”
