Project book
the masters of crystal We are the masters of crystal and our
mission is to manufacture lighting objects... In the beginning was our love of glass and a strong desire to create beautiful things. It was mainly these deep emotions that formed our mastery of working glass. For us, glass is not just cold, inanimate matter; on the contrary, born in fire, glass can take on an endless variety of forms in the deft hands of our glassmakers: mouth - blown, drawn, cut and polished, glass changes before our very eyes into dazzling crystal miracles. Our forte is light confined in glass, whether it be chandeliers, lighting sculptures, or decorative objects. As your partners, we always stand by you, hanging on your every word, ready to fulfill even your most secret wishes.

Thanks to our mastery, we produce top-quality crystal chandelier trimmings to decorate our lighting fixtures

Would you believe it? However unbelievable it may seem, the demand for some of the chandeliers made 300 years ago hasn’t slowed down even today. That’s why we haven’t halted this production – we just introduced modern technologies Admirers in High Society Even monarchs, such as Louis XV – King of France; Maria Theresa – Empress of Austria; and Elizabeth – Czarina of Russia, were enchanted by our magnificent chandeliers and would order them to put a stamp of grandeur and perfection on their palaces.

and adapted our products to the current style.
„Maria Theresa“ chandelier – originally made on the occasion of the Empress Maria Theresa’s coronation as queen of Bohemia in 1743.
Lighting fixture of the „Holland Type“ – since its origin in the 17th century, the fixture hasn’t succumbed to varying design trends.
Bohemian glassmaking art traditions... As early as 500 years ago, skillful glassmakers in the Czech Kingdom began discovering methods of melting glass of unrivaled quality, renowned for its high brilliance and optical purity. In 1724, the first chandelier workshop was established in the village of Prácheň, not far from Kamenický Šenov, where Preciosa - Lustry has its present headquarters. Glass from Kamenický Šenov and its environs soon won worldwide renown, primarily for the elegance of form and purity of mouth-blown or hand-cut crystal. It was considered good form among the upper classes to own chandeliers from Kamenický Šenov. Even today, you can admire centuries - old chandeliers embellishing interiors of many manors.

New Production Processes & New Elements in Lighting Systems Laser – computer-controlled laser techniques enable precise cutting of metal as well as plastics, namely cutting both contours of individual shapes and a variety of decorative patterns. slumping – fused glass sheets follow the mold of a specified shape. fusing – heated to a specified temperature, various glass pieces are fused together to form a single layer glass. Decorating with frit – glass panels are decorated with
patterns created from crushed glass called the „frit”. Nanotechnology – the glass object is covered with a nanotechnology-based lacquer that creates a hydrophobic surface protecting the glass from moisture: water doesn’t stick to the glass surface, but freely flows down. This creates a self-cleaning property – as the water flows down, it carries away all surface soil particles. programmable LED - these enable preset lighting cycles of various lengths, thus creating an interplay of spectral colors.
Optical Fibers – the optical fiber’s core conducts light along its length to shine at its end, or, when the fiber is intentionally broken in several places, light is emitted from each of the “fractures”. Using optical fibers is economical, as just one light source is sufficient for a bundle of fibers, which also facilitates the fixture’s maintenance. The fibers’ light sources are programmable, enabling preset lighting cycles in a variety of lengths and colors.

From Inspiration towards Realization The International Commerce Centre: Glass Water Lilies
Inspired by Monet’s famous painting “Water Lilies”, its glass counterpart was finished using the modern technique of nanotechnology that faithfully imitates natural processes that exist on real plants’ leaves. Thus, our glass water lilies are not only protected from adverse environmental influences,

Modern computer-aided visualizations enable us to represent the final product when still in its design phase on the screen, long before it is produced. Thus, we are able to show you the almost exact appearance of the future object, and what’s more – we can show it incorporated into its future environment. However, the crucial factor influencing the result remains – the designer’s original ideas and creativity. We draw inspiration from the infinite number of forms the world offers – nature’s myriad faces, water as the element, whether in the form of rivers or oceans, the submarine world and, last but not least, the course of human life, myths, legends and works of art… the list is endless.
We can bring your ideas to life

Villa Richter – a National Cultural Monument Prague Czech Republic | 2008
PRECIOSA chandeliers adorn the interiors of Prague Castle, including the classicist pavilion Villa Richter, the world-famous Czech national cultural monument listed by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee.
36
Together with other period decorative elements, the stylish Maria Theresa line of chandeliers creates the Piano Nobile restaurant’s atmosphere of bygone times. A modern lighting sculpture in the form of a stylized vine, climbing all over the ceiling of the glasshouse adjoining the restaurant, represents a distinctive opposite to classical lighting. About the locality – Villa Richter, a classicist pavilion, is located in the middle of St. Wenceslas’ vineyard, one of the oldest in Bohemia, dating from the 10th century. This national cultural monument belonging to the world-famous Prague Castle complex reopened its renovated interiors to the public in 2008.

Within the fixture are 16 synchronically interconnected light sources, each connected to proportional parts of all the optical fibers. The longest beams measure 80 cm. All the fixtures in the building are connected to the GMX system. On the ground floor is the main console that controls them including this gigantic chandelier. The fixture can either use one constant color of light, or smoothly change into various colors (white, green, blue, yellow and red). About the locality – Mt. Parnitha National Park spreads out on the Attica peninsula, the most lucrative area of Greece, no more than 32 km from Athens, the country’s capital city. It’s here where the Mt.

About the palace – Large-scale restoration work on this famous Russian czars’ residence began in 2005 after the Russian government decided in favor of extensive renovations to the buildings. The original palace complex was built at the instigation of Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia from 1776 – 1785. Built in Classicism and Gothic styles, the palace, surrounded by an ample park and a number of adjoining buildings, was to become a real architectural gem of Czarist Russia.

The Address Downtown Dubai Dubai UAE | 2008
CNBC International Property Award for Interior Design for Arabia 2009
For this luxurious hotel, PRECIOSA designed and manufactured 32 types of original lighting fixtures, lighting objects, crystal curtains, decorative screens as well as 2,900 vases.

The configurations of loosely suspended elements, distinctly illuminated by smart light sources, currently represent the dominant architectural trend. The desired effect is achieved by creating simple-in-shape configurations of glass elements loosely suspended to form large, impressive compositions and patterns as dominant interior lighting decorations. To enhance their overall visual effect, the individual elements are illuminated by pulsating, color-changing light sources. Such lighting configurations are used primarily as conceptual constituents visually interconnecting the interiors’ individual segments. About the hotel – The Address Downtown Dubai, the flagship property of Emaar Hospitality Group's five-star hotel brand, is located in Downtown Dubai. The hotel, with its 63 floors, boasts a central tower that soars 306 meters high. The tower, completed in 2008, is the 6th tallest building in Dubai.

It’s not a coincidence that the name of one of the most renowned hotels in the Middle East, belonging to the Intercontinental Hotels & Resorts world chain, includes the word “Palace”. The appearance of this luxurious six-story hotel, originally built as the Sultan’s house for his guests, is markedly reminiscent of such a building.
102
About the locality – From the front, it is surrounded by lovely beaches on the coast of the Arabian Sea and framed by jagged mountains from the back. The adjacent pleasure gardens’ bright greenery freshens up the sandy, rocky environment. Not more than 8 km away from Ruwi, the city’s commercial and financial center, the hotel is an ideal and attractive place for both business and private trips.

The Yas Hotel Yas Island – Abu Dhabi UAE | 2009
Lighting fixtures by PRECIOSA illuminate the presidential lobby, vice-presidential suite and the interiors of all the hotel restaurants designed in various architectural styles.

The design project is based on three basic levels: the first level features lighting sculptures created from chandelier trimmings and glass rods with inserted optical fibers serving as modern light sources. The second level is characterized by both glass and metal components of simple shapes loosely suspended to form imaginative configurations. And finally, the third group of lighting elements follows the prevailing architectural trend towards using intersecting geometric shapes such as crystal blocks or objects with round lines as can be seen, for instance, in hanging lanterns. About the hotel – This futuristic hotel complex, built on the man-made Yas Island, towers right above the Formula 1 racetrack – the Yas Marina Circuit. The hotel’s characteristic feature is its peripheral cladding formed from LED panels that enable the building’s attractive colorful illumination.
