Clartés

Marriott Hotel, Prague

Welcoming guests as they arrive at Prague’s Marriot Hotel, these custom-made glass sculptures frame the grand stairway in the main foyer.  Inspired by the fusion of natural elements like climbing vines and the urban decay of barbed wire, the piece captures the freedom and destruction of our contemporary lives in light and glass.  Handcrafted by our artisans, these sculptures bring contemporary art to the forefront of Bohemian glass design.

 

Every single piece of Clartés glassware is handmade in our Bohemian glass factory and metal workshop located in the Czech Republic. Our methods of luxury glass manufacturing were first created in the early 1900’s by the highly sought-after artisans Antonin Jilek and Frantisek Wetter. Their legacy is a workshop that specialises in Bohemian glass and crystal, internationally recognised for its beauty, high quality craftsmanship and innovative flare.

Generations of glassblowers have made the factory their home and together we are passionate in planning the future and development of new products and cutting-edge design.

More than a manufacturing workshop, we are all one big family who will continue to believe in our products and our vision of Clartés as the forefront of contemporary glass design.
