MgA. Lukáš Houdek DiS.
The works of Lukáš Houdek (*1988) are characterized by their humor. Lukáš is a graduate of Prague's UMPRUM - Rony Plesl's glass studio. His works are very specific, often identifiable at first glance - they are exceptional lightness that Lukáš manages to put into them despite the fact that he uses such a serious material as glass.
Lukáš does not limit himself to a specific technology or topic. He smoothly transitions from free realizations to design and back again. He is not afraid of new approaches or classic techniques, on the contrary, he tries to develop the technical and visual boundaries of the glass department. He focuses on the topics of pop culture and parody. Humor and the overlap of design with free art are characteristic of him. After his studies, he worked for the company Moser now he develops the family company HG Atelier, founded in 1998 by his brother Filip. Both brothers design lighting objects for private houses and residences. Lukáš and Filip are also developing a joint project called Houdek.Art, which focuses on connecting art and design of super sports cars. Lukáš also collaborates on unique objects with his friend Yulin Huang, who currently works as a designer for Lasvit.
