The Studio was founded in 1990 during the Vitra Design Museum workshop led by Denis Santacharia. At that time Michal Froněk (1966) and Jan Němeček (1963) studied at Academy of Arts in Prague. Their first projects involved design of experimental seating and interior concepts. At the beginning the Studio’s creativity took on wide range of work from light-generating ready-made objects, glass vases, porcelain-made sets and titanium jewellery to architectural projects.
Olgoj Chorchoj designed Tim and Disc collection for BOMMA.
These monumental pieces marked BOMMA’s entry to the world of top-level lighting design and set us on our path. Free-blown glass without the use of a form, literally reaches the limits of this size and weight. Unique in the world-wide scale, these lights combine minimalistic design with the greatest examples of glassmaking mastery.
