The glass objects inspired by drawing are a continuation of the phenomenon of Czechoslovak glass figurines in a contemporary concept. The decorative objects become an authentic work of art designed for the interior of your home.

Pavlína Šváchová deals with updating glass figurines in the field of contemporary art. She approaches the technique of shaping glass rods at the glass stove as a spatial drawing. The result is a set of several dozen figures/objects that are loosely inspired by children's drawing as an uninfluenced, intimate and primal creative expression of man. With the possibility to penetrate to the edge of automatic creation.

Pavlína won the Czech Design Award 2022 / Discovery of the Year for her collection at the international festival Czech Design Week 2022.
