Pendants & Chandeliers
86 — 87
The Praha Chandelier
was created by renowned
Czech designer Stanislav
Libenský, whose
teaching and notoriety
has helped form the
current generation of
glass artists in the Czech
Republic and abroad.
The Praha Chandelier was
designed for Hotel Praha,
a colossal architectural
endeavour constructed
in the 1980’s. Despite
efforts to preserve it as
a cultural monument,
it was later torn down.
The Praha Chandelier
is amongst the few
remaining artefacts from
the building.
Because the glass of
the Praha Chandelier
is created with varying
thicknesses, an array
of diverse shadows
glide between the glass
bodies and throughout
the surrounding interior
when lit. The chandelier
gives an intriguing
spacial experience by
uplifting the room with
a kaleidoscopic effect.
