Fruit of the Desert
In a landscape defined by wind, sand, and sun, Lasvit’s Fruit of the Desert brings a quiet story to life. Designed for a private villa in Kuwait by Stefan Mihailović, this trio of glass lighting sculptures is a poetic reflection on life in the desert — defined by patience and the ability to value things that grow slowly.
Golden Partition
Inspired by shimmers suspended in the air, Golden Partition evokes the warmth of home and the quiet glow of fire. To capture this feeling, three hundred hand blown prism components were hung in light amber, smoke, and clear. Some remain transparent, others soften to opacity, a few are silvered inside and flicker like embers.
Fruits of Light
The sculpture draws from real desert flora — from chestnuts to pistachios — reimagined as a fictional plant that speaks to resilience. Over 400 handblown glass components in warm amber tones are set along 60 meters of sculpted golden branches. Each fruit differs slightly in tone, but all share the same story behind the light.
Glass Made Oasis
“I imagined people who once lived here,” says Mihailović. “They had no other choice but to depend on the gifts of nature. I captured the hopeful moment when fruits appear.” The floor sculpture reflects this vision: a stylized bush, grounded in metal, bearing glass fruits in various stages of ripeness — some cracked open, others just beginning to swell.
