pyrite
The fiery stone from the core of the Earth
The fiery stone from the core of the Earth
The sculptural structures of minerals and their perfectly smooth surfaces are among the most precious treasures from the very core of the Earth, only revealing their optical magic once they encounter a source of light. By blowing a molten organic substance into a precise cold form, the skilled hands of our glassmakers create a unique light fixture of elemental, yet perfect shape. The gleaming surface of this hand-blown crystal cube is enclosed from three sides by a polished metal component in either silver or gold tones. The Pyrite Collection excels in both exceptional design and top-quality materials. Easily combined, it invites you to create your own unique lighting constellations.
Designers of this collection, DECHEM Studio, were fascinated by the beauty of mineral formations. Thus this collection was inspired by pyrite, the golden fire-stone in the shape of a perfect cube, while the silver version of the shade reflects its inspiration in salt crystals.

DECHEM studio was established in Prague in 2012 by Michaela Tomiskova and Jakub Jandourek. They first met at the Novy Bor School of Glass, where they both fell in love with the earliest synthesised material in human history. While Michaela went on to study product design at AAAD Prague (Academy of Arts Prague) and later worked for several acclaimed design studios, Jakub continued to hone his skills in the lighting industry, specialising in glass workmanship, technology, and manufacturing. Since establishing DECHEM studio they have focused on product design and maintained a special attention to glass.
