The hand-blown glass sculpture brings together the two main inspirational elements to evoke an experience underpinned by its name, a sense of Alice in Wonderland. Lasvit describes Alice as a kinetic bloom, its traces to flowers equally fragile, original and unique. The delicate design is a symbolic interpretation of peace and love, so often associated with flowers.

About Petra Krausová
Petra Krausová (born 1986) searches for inspiration not only in materials and technology but also in the seemingly opposing topics of tradition and futurism. The Lasvit designer and co-founder of the new lifestyle brand Newintage focuses mainly on the design of furniture, products and futuristic concepts. Apart from stories and, at first sight, hidden ambiguities, her experience working for major designers and architects such as Tord Boontje, Michael Sodeau, Eva Jiřična and Bang&Olufsen is also reflected in her creations.
