LASVIT presents SPACEY by Lukas Novak
Look into the telescope. What do you see ? There are millions of shining dots on a canvas painted by the universe itself. In the telescope's eyelet this beauty is seemingly within your reach, but take your eye off the apparatus and it disappears. The Spacey chandelier keeps the beauty of the universe inside your living room.
To capture the beauty of the universe, Lukas Novak picked the shape of the sphere."A sphere is the most perfect shape in the universe. I wanted to create a lighting that will push the limits of the sphere a bit further" , says the designer.
To create such a visual appearance, Novak made use of an old technique called "lithyalin". This technique used to be popular in the 19th century. Pieces created by "lithyalin" looks as if they were sculpted from gemstones. Thruout the centuries, it was almost forgotten until recently. The lithyalin technique was "resurrected" by a Czech designer in Novy Bor - the very same town, where it was invented more then 200 years ago.
