Infinity

Inspired by the eternal expanse of the universe and mathematics, glassmaker, Jitka Kamencová Skuhrava designed “Infinity” as an illusion to the oblique symbol. 1,400 hand-blown glass leaves, decorated with linear grooves, form the shape of the letter “S,” creating the impression of the wind gently rustling through the leaves. The 7-meter glass piece will adorn the mezzanine, the public space of the Czech House.
