Glass
Tomas Kral created the 'Upgrade' project to bring two contrasting aesthetics together. The aim was to apply the elaborate decorations typical of precious Bohemian cut glass to simple jars and bottles. By cutting, engraving and gilding the recycled glassware, Kral has created a truly beautiful yet unassuming series of glass vessels. The 'Upgrade' series is a fitting and sophisticated first for the Slovak-born designer and an elegant union of ideologies. Kral’s work is the perfect embodiment of the raw and the beautiful. The 'Upgrade' project was purchased directly from Kral's MA graduation show from ECAL, Lausanne, in 2008.
