In the past, we have provided a scope of professional work for the National Museum, their main building and other buildings under its administration – for example, the restoration of the Bedřich Smetana memorial in Jabkenice, etc.

Working on the complete reconstruction of the main building was to be the culmination of all our craft work so far.

Scope of work: restoration and manufacturing of lighting fixtures, including the work on other interior elements of the building.

Interesting fact: 

The National Museum was supposed to be the icing on the cake, following the large number of successful previous realizations of well-known buildings, however everything turned out differently. Our initial price offer traveled from one potential supplier to the next, even to other countries, only to eventually return to us after seven years.

I can proudly say that we delivered and produced high quality work as always. However, the method of assembly, who it was performed by and how, has for the first time, removed us from the warranty.

The Chvaly Chateau – a touch of romance on the outskirts of Prague.

Scope of work: manufacturing of atypical chandeliers, wall lamps and other items

The first mentions of the Chvaly Fortress date back to the early 15th century. 

For two centuries, the fortress often changed owners until 1652, when it was ceded to the Jesuit college.

Interesting fact: 

It was a quick and beautiful job.

The requirement from the investor was quite clear: the lighting fixtures were supposed to remain the same, but different at the same time. One set of chandeliers was to be made of non-ferrous metals, the second of a metal and glass combination and the third only of glass. It was up to us to decide the overall size, shape, length of hinges, number of light bulbs and to calculate the required luminosity.

It only took a short period of time for the prototypes to be approved in our workshops and for us to deliver and assemble the chandeliers at the chateau. 

 

Design of the lighting fixtures: Karel Švásta
