Glass for Centuries
Inside St. Vitus Cathedral, a place that carries the memory of a nation, Lasvit has become part of one of the most significant cultural projects of recent decades: a new crystal concert organ shaped at the intersection of music, Gothic architecture, contemporary design, and Czech glassmaking.
World's First Crystal Organ
Created over nearly twelve years, the organ features 180 hand-blown crystal elements placed among the pipes. They catch the changing light of the cathedral’s rose window and reflect it back into the Gothic space — becoming part of the cathedral’s story, made for today and for generations to come.

Working with glass is much like carpentry. If you have an understanding of a craft, you have the advantage. It’s all about physics. One has to understand the material, and this goes double for glass. One must know its characteristics, and what one can do with it. If you want to make something, you must know what will happen to the material you’re working with, as if you don’t know, your design will be useless. Everyone can make sketches, but to design and then manufacture a functional product which people will be willing to use and pay for is a true challenge.
