The Bomma glassworks are a fusion of two distinct phenomena, which have been resonating on the Czech design scene the most in the recent years. On the one hand, it is glass and the craft and know how unparalleled on the global scale and, on the other hand, light which, combined with glass and its color scale and structures results in extraordinary effects. With the arrival of the designers Jakub Pollág and Václav Mlynář, the brand has entered a new creative stage and a new course of its production. The last year's Light+Building fair in Frankfurt am Main thus saw – among other items – its brand new collections of lights developed for Bomma by the Dechem studio. First, it is the series Umbra, representing a certain metaphor of the age-old play of light and shadow as well as geometry. The second series, Dark & Bright Star, by the same authors immediately attracts attention by its exact form, precise cut and impressive solitaire nature. The Design Academy of the Czech Republic moreover appreciated the qualities of the Orbital collection by the deFORM studio, where the orbits of colored astronomical objects with their hypnotically glowing central cores served as the main sources of inspiration. The design appeal of the individual collections at the same time has rather positive impact on the aspect of export. The lights as well as the drinking glass by Bomma are thus today parts of not only renowned hotels and restaurants but also interiors of hi-end private residencies worldwide.
