What Lasvit does

Lasvit is a private Czech artisanal design house founded in 2007 by Leon Jakimič, headquartered in Prague, with manufacturing anchored in Nový Bor in Northern Bohemia. The company specializes in bespoke glass and lighting installations — hand-blown Bohemian crystal artworks, kinetic and dynamic installations, architectural glass facades, and modular interior glass partitions — drawing on glassmaking traditions inherited from Chřibská 1414 (the oldest glassworks in Europe, established 1414) and the Ajeto glassworks, which is inscribed on the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Lasvit has completed over 3,000 bespoke installations worldwide and operates 12 ateliers globally to support enterprise clients across more than 40 countries. The work is led creatively by Art Director Maxim Velčovský, appointed in 2011, and the founder carries family lineage ties to Riedel and Swarovski.

The product portfolio spans fully custom installations for iconic projects, signature lighting collections (Neverending Glory, Crystal Rock, Cipher, Duna, Dancing Leaves, Herbarium), ready-to-order Lasvit Icons products with shorter lead times, LASVIT Art Walls modular partitions, Artisanal Glass for Architecture including certified Insulated Glass Units, and a Home & Décor glassware line featuring collaborations with designers such as the Campana Brothers, Yabu Pushelberg, Kengo Kuma, Nendo, and David Rockwell. Manufacturing is grounded in proprietary techniques including glass fusing at the Lasvit Fusing facility in Nový Bor, the Herbarium method that imprints botanical specimens in glass, and kinetic engineering that allows installations to move, change color, and respond to sound. Each piece is fundamentally hand-crafted, with engineered capabilities layered on top of craft traditions rather than automated production.

Commercially, Lasvit runs a project-based enterprise sales model targeting architects, interior designers, developers, luxury hospitality brands (Four Seasons, Raffles, Mandarin Oriental, St. Regis, Nobu), luxury retailers (Cartier), aviation clients (Singapore Airlines), cultural and public institutions (Dubai Opera, Metro Českomoravská in Prague), and high-net-worth private clients. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based for custom commissions, with multi-year contract cadence for both fully bespoke projects and the streamlined Lasvit Icons line, supplemented by select partner showrooms and retailers for ready-to-order products. Distribution combines direct enterprise engagement with a 12-atelier global network and partner/reseller channels. The company is privately held and founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or M&A activity.
