Markéta and Petr – winners in the Czech Grand Design category The Discovery of the Year 2015, one of whose recent realizations is the Deelive Design Store in the Prague object SmetanaQ – prepare their collection together every year. Moving on from the main subject of last year's Designblok, Food, they this time solved what people actually need for eating and dining, which resulted in a collection of interior lighting objects and a collection of collapsible tables. The two products share the element of a torque moment and the principle of assembling modules. The designers presented three variants of a lighting object of hand-blown Czech crystal, which employs playing with the optical spectrum. The individual parts are made of dichroic glass and contain an inner diffusing screen. The module can either be lit separately or can be attached to a customized steel component in groups of three or six pieces. The very torque then makes for a table lamp, a small ceiling lighting fitting as well as a large crystalline chandelier. The tables, in turn, are based on a foldable footrest, which can be completed with boards of various materials in various dimensions. They can thus become a dining table or be merely narrowed to thin shelves - all depending on the room dimensions and the desired function. They are very easy to manipulate and transport, as well as assemble, not even requiring a screwdriver. Markéta and Petr selected marble board and white footrests to premiere the collection.
