In 2022, we presented our products for the first time at the largest selection show of design and fashion in Central Europe - Designblok in Prague. This happened in the exhibition ENDLESS by Jan Čapek, an important Czech designer. Here, Čapek presented another of his iconic designs - a set of four bowls, each made of a different material - uranium glass, marble, wood and concrete. And we participated in the production of the first two named with our CNC processing technology. Although the technology is primarily intended for processing glass, it was specially adapted to marble for the ENDLESS project.

 


During the implementation of this project, Jan Čapek worked with his favorite principle of dematerialization, where the bowls seem to defy the laws of physics and gravity. "Although such demanding materials together with perfect processing move the bowls from a utilitarian product closer to an art object, from the beginning one of the driving forces of the design was the desire for uncompromising function. The elongated shape of the bowl perfectly complements the shape of a larger table, shelf or chest of drawers with its proportions. The fruit it does not pile up on the bowl and is presented in a way that allows for easier selection. Elevating the body of the bowl above the table top means that the bowl, despite its dimensions, does not take up space and essentially the entire surface of the table is still usable," adds the designer.
