Glass installation for the London Design Festival at Victoria & Albert Museum in 2019. Inspired by the idea of Sacred Geometry, a universal language organizing all visible and invisible reality according to basic geometrical principles, presenting own artistic expression of this system, inspired by thoughts of Czech surrealist Josef Sima and German astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler.
Vitrum Vivum Technology
Perfected by Jiří Šín over the course of twelve years, this unique technology is based on a groundbreaking method of cast glass production. What is especially revolutionary is the process of pouring hot glass into a closed mold enabling the creation of a faithful cast of any object.
This is an essential shift in the field of cast glass sculpture, previously perfected and promoted by Professor Stanislav Libenský. The new technology created by Jiří Šín takes the craft of glassmaking to the next level, making it possible to create three-dimensional glass sculptures with a realistic structure without any limitations in size and shape for the first time in history.
