Václav Mlynář has been Creative Director of BOMMA since 2017. He curates new collections, initiates new collaborations, oversees all creative outcomes and, together with the Bomma team, sets new directions.
“I think of our lighting as sculptural pieces that go a step beyond trends, and will continue to be as breathtaking in future as they are today. I always seek out designs that balance on the edge of design and sculpture. The uniqueness of every piece of glass we produce is something I appreciate the most. For me, it brings both character and value to our products. Glass is a magical material which never ceases to amaze me.”
