Pavlína Šváchová

Pavlína Šváchová presents RTVELI, a series of hand-crafted wine glasses whose name comes from the Georgian word for grape harvest. The collection refers to traditions of harvesting, sharing, hospitality and communal celebration. Its distinctive feature is a system of drawn lines that transfers the designer’s visual language into a functional object. The collection was created in collaboration with the Czech family-run glassworks Novotný Glass. In her work, Šváchová combines traditional glassmaking techniques with an experimental approach. She is also a multiple recipient of the Czech Design Award.
