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 and the US.
