Introducing Sklárna Květná's new collection, Prestige.

Prestige is the latest in a line of designs successfully launched in 2005 and which has already been recognized by a number of awards, including Design Plus. While Květná's previous glass collections have been designed exclusively by Czech artists, the Prestige collection is a partnership with premier foreign designers, a first among Czech glass companies.

The first three designers invited to participate – Arik Levy, Jean-Marie Massaud and Marco Sousa Santos – belong among the current European design elite. They accepted without hesitation our invitation to design a special drink service from hand-blown glass. We were further delighted when all three expressed their admiration for the Czech glass tradition as well as for the new ways of the Květná glass works. For the Prestige collection each of them created an original set consisting of red and white wine glasses, champagne flutes, water glasses, carafes, and other table accessories.
