Translucent
The Translucent catalogue is the first publication of the SIN brand and presents a series of unique objects designed for SIN by renowned Czech artist Rony Plesl. The Translucent collection including glass pieces oscillate between fine art and design inspired by fantastic world of the nature and its living fragments. Rony was the first professional artist to use Vitrum Vivum technology on a large scale and presented it for the first time on a large scale in his monumental installation in London’s Victoria and Albert Museum in 2019.
Rony Plesl (*1965, lives and works in Prague) is a leading Czech artist, sculptor, designer, and professor. Plesl’s work is unique both in the field of fine arts and in the field of design. Rather than challenging current trends, he has followed impulses from various disciplines throughout his life. Plesl explores the possibilities of glass sculpture, deliberately approaching it as a distinctive medium. He respects the work of his predecessors – Professor Libenský and others, who founded this relatively young discipline in the Czech Republic – while also respecting the history of the craft.
