FRANTIŠEK JUNGVIRT
DESIGNER
Prague | Czech Republic
František is both a glassmaker and a visual artist, which explains why his work is often the most colourful one in the room. While his well-managed technique comes out of traditional mastery, his approach is youthful and modern, often reflecting current pop-culture trends.
In 2018, he earned two awards in the Master of Crystal competition, both for his portable lamp called Barok.
His work encompasses everyday products, gallery objects and limited series. He is particularly interested in the value of local cultural heritage – the visual dialogue between history and the present, and their associated aesthetics.
