The Neverending Glory collection re?ects nostalgic emotions and interprets opulent candle chandeliers in new way to symbolize those prime moments of appreciation and glory. It is possible within individual silhouettes to recognize the iconic chandeliers from ?ve of the world’s most eminent concert halls and theaters; La Scala in Milan, Palais Garnier in Paris, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, as well as the Czech Republic’s Estates Theater in Prague.
Jan Plechác and Henry Wielgus sketched the shape of the Lasvit Neverending Glory chandeliers by rotating the silhouette around its own axis. The large pieces of glass, for which even the wooden moulds are enormous are so demanding to produce that it would not be possible to create anything bigger. In the individual silhouettes, it is possible to recognize iconic chandeliers from five of the world’s most eminent concert halls and theatres; La Scala in Milan, Palais Garnier in Paris, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, the Czech Republic’s Estates Theater in Prague, and the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow.
