When two talents meet 

Crystal Creative is a joint project of Filip Dobiáš and David Gabera, who both believe that art is – above all – about the joy that comes with creating something beautiful and authentic. 

While David (1976) has a lifelong experience with glass cutting and a well-established reputation, Filip (1990) is a fresh graduate of the Institute of Glass in Toyama, Japan and a rising star of the glass design industry. He won the Ludwig Moser Award in 2014 and you may have spotted his pieces at the world-famous Designblok or his very own exhibit in T.I.G.A. Gallery in Japan.

What is especially unique about Filip’s work, is that all his pieces are 100 % hand produced – another thing that ties him to his new partner in crime, David. Under the flag of Crystal Creative, they are combining new artistic approaches and technologies with traditional craftsmanship. And we can’t help but think they are killing it.
