Jiri Krejcirik, product and spatial designer
Creating new forms of decorativism, my work reimagines European cultural heritage through a contemporary lens. Threading the past and the present with my signature visual language, my portfolio encompasses furniture and lighting as well as glass art objects. I pay homage to craftsmanship. All of my products are locally hand-crafted in the Czech Republic, produced in a limited series and displayed only in meticulously chosen galleries and design showrooms in Europe, Australia and the US. I has sent my work to collectors and clients in the Czech Republic as well as abroad, including Germany, the United Kingdom, the USA, France, Italy, and Austria. In the Czech Republic, my work is part of the permanent collections of the National Technical Museum in Prague and the Moravian Gallery in Brno.
