Our Milestones
1990
During the first months after the Velvet Revolution, Karel Švásta established the company BOS Mladá Boleslav, whose trademark soon became the domain of most state contracts of artistic and craft nature.
It is also during this year, when he himself participates in the tender for the overall restoration of lighting fixtures in the Prague RUDOLFINUM. He succeeds in winning the contract against such giants in the industry as Preciosa Kamenický Šenov, Obnova památek Praha, etc.
The main reasoning that contributed to the victory in this tender was not the price, but the complexity of the services offered.
Contracts which followed: Blaník Palace, Žofín Palace, palaces in Prague Lesser Town, town halls, including the Old Town Hall in Prague, hotels, restaurants and many more.
1995
The company BOS Ltd. is established as the successor of the original natural person. Everything else remains without a change. A small overview of the following contracts testifies to the beginning stability of a rising star in the field of arts and crafts, which is gradually winning most of the prestigious contracts in its field: castles, theatres and a long list of interesting works throughout the whole country.
The largest contract in the history of our company was the Municipal House in Prague, which we have been working on continuously for the past 23 years.
1999
After graduating from UPRUM Turnov, Karel Švásta Jr. joins the company. From the position of an ordinary workshop specialist, he gradually worked his way up to the position of production foreman and when he had gained the respect of other restorers, he took over his own production management.
This year also marked our first work abroad and other significant contracts throughout the Czech Republic.
2008
We begin to discuss our future with trading companies, such as FOIBOS, SANS SOUSSI or LASVIT.
The LASVIT company wins us over and brings the expected connection with the entire world and significantly increases the overall development of the joint venture.
2010
The company BOS Ltd. takes over the trade name of its partner, and thus LASVIT MB Ltd. is established.
Literally large works of art are created by leading architects and designers around the world.
