Lasvit Showcases Illumination Innovation at Expo 2020's Czech Pavilion
(MENAFN- Inspiratus Consulting LTD.) Dubai, UAE – In line with EXPO 2020’s Sustainability focus, glass and design leader LASVIT is illuminating the Czech Pavilion with Golden Rain, an organic six-meter-high groundbreaking installation made entirely of recyclable metal and glass, that marries technology and harmony with nature to showcase the process of manufacturing water from air.
Golden Rain connects the traditional craft of glass making to modern technologies, creating an installation that flows through the pavilion’s two floors, weighing in at a total 1,600 kg. It is wholly composed of dozens of glass pendants which are wrapped in gilded mesh, with 1,000 pieces of additional LED modules and over 800 m of brass mesh used.
Located at the main entrance of EXPO’s Sustainability District, the installation by LASVIT, the Czech Pavilion’s partner at the EXPO 2020, complements the Pavilion’s showcase of creating water from air to make the desert bloom. The S.A.W.E.R. system works on the principle of condensation, transforming the hot desert air into life-giving water. Thanks to its dynamic lighting, LASVIT’s installation pulses with light and gives the impression that water flows down through it and into the building’s inside.
Golden Rain features a color scheme that blends perfectly with the Pavilion’s aesthetic. Its name is furthermore derived from the architectural features of the Pavilion, which show the visible structure, representing the flow of energy and water.
“The Golden Rain glass installation is shaped like golden lianas and fits into the pavilion’s overall design. The individual ‘stems’ are reminiscent of the tangled clusters of hosing which wind their way throughout the entire pavilion and allow it to function,” explains LASVIT’s Creative Director Maxim Velčovský, who is also this glass and metal installation’s designer.
“LASVIT has always strived for innovation and excellence while respecting the principles of sustainability, therefore we take pride in being a partner of the Czech Pavilion at the EXPO 2020, helping to promote something as beneficial and ambitious as bringing water to the desert,” said the company’s CEO Aleš Stýblo.
In search of harmony with nature and sustainability
“The gold color which I use in the installation was inspired by the functional system of golden membranes on which the S.A.W.E.R. system condenses water droplets. Those world exhibitions which present technological novelties also present innovations in the sphere of craft, applied art and design. It was my intention to design the decorative part of the exhibition wholly from a technical set of principles and approaches. The resulting composition consists of a special metal mesh which protects the borosilicate glass usually used in laboratories and in scientific research. This decorative component thus consists of technical materials, surfaces and principles, touching base with old tradition,” describes Velčovský.
Lukáš Černý, LASVIT’s General Manager for MEA & SE Asia, adds: “LASVIT’s main mission is to lift everyone by creating truly unique and sublime spatial experiences that touch the soul of all who look upon them. We believe that our installation Golden Rain will significantly contribute to spreading the good name of the Czech Republic, and especially Czech glassmaking, on the international scene.”
