Lasvit reimagines your favorite flora as freeze-frames crafted from Bohemian glass.
line—which encases twigs, shrubs, and flowers in crystal—the designers didn’t have to look far for inspiration. The meadows and woodlands near its headquarters in Nový Bor, close to the Czech Republic’s northern border with Germany, provided everything they needed.
“During a workshop, we were asked by our director to come up with more floral motifs,” explains designer Štěpán Gudev, who’s credited with conceiving the Herbarium concept alongside colleagues Mária Čulenová and Petra Dicková. “I was part of the team that decided, rather than imitating nature, we should imprint it into the glass. It’s something that’s been done before, but, of course, we wanted to take it to the next level.
The process turned out to be quite simple. Molten glass is poured over native plants that Lasvit sources locally—a combination of thistles, conifers, rose hips, and junipers—or a client’s own specimens. The flora, once ablaze, turn to ash and leave behind fossil-like impressions. The individual components are then strung together and suspended in the air, evoking both raindrops and falling leaves. “It’s poetic,” Gudev says. “One plant dies, but in a way, it’s being immortalized.
Founded in 2007 by Czech entrepreneur Leon Jakimič, Lasvit introduced Herbarium in 2020. Fueled by its success, the line joined Lasvit’s Icons portfolio, which reimagines the brand’s most beloved bespoke lighting designs into made-to-order installations. Starting at $10,660, Herbarium fixtures are customizable or available in nine standardized versions, ranging from 27 to 265 individual components in varying shapes and sizes.
