This month, the Mint shop in London will host ‘Chez Czech’, a retrospective of Czech designer Maxim Velcovsky. The show will exhibit items by other emerging and established Czech designers to compliment Velcovsky’s work and showcase the countries glassmakers, ceramic artists, and avant-garde designers.

Maxim Velcovsky was named the 2007 Designer of the Year for Czech Grand Design. Since then, as the co-founder of Qubus Design Studio, he has won many awards and exhibited in numerous international venues including the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. His works are also featured in the permanent collections of various pretigious museums. In this paritcular exhibition at Mint he will present his most recent limited edition series ‘Vase of Vases’.

Most of the works featured in the exhibition are glass or ceramic, and the various artists complement each other both in style and medium. The unique namesake piece Vase of Vases shows a distinct take on glass making and ceramic design.

This innovative showcase of Czech design won’t disappoint, so if your in London this month make sure to pop in.
