Lasvit is a global designer and manufacturer of glass art installations, made from Czech crystal glass, also known as Bohemian. Around half its global business is generated by hospitality projects (hotels, casinos and restaurants). The rest are mostly private houses and apartments. Lasvit designers and glass blowers create unique hand-made crystal glass features that often be described as pieces of art. Lasvit does not create only chandeliers, but also large glass installations and sculptures made out of Bohemian glass.

Under Jan’s leadership, Lasvit has worked on the best new hotels in Moscow and expanded into Kazakhstan, Georgia and Armenia. The unique bespoke installations enhance the atmosphere in hotels in Moscow, Sochi, Tbilisi, Astana, Almaty and even as far as Vladivostok.
