Annotation

Designer Lucie Koldová based the Mona collection for Brokis on the idea of interpenetrating forms. The light source cuts through the large volume of hand-blown glass like a knife through butter, and their unexpected contrast creates exciting tension. The lights are also unconventional in the construction. Koldová’s design is sophisticated in that the chandelier can be easily disassembled and cleaned. The series includes versions of chandeliers, wall lamps, floor lamps and table lamps, which come in four sizes – S, M, L and XL.
