Brokis Handblown Bohemian Glass Lighting
Brokis creates contemporary lighting that combines expressive design with the centuries-old tradition of Bohemian glassmaking. Produced in the Czech Republic, its pendants, chandeliers, table lamps, floor lamps and wall lights showcase the beauty of handblown glass through refined proportions, innovative materials and exceptional craftsmanship.
From intimate decorative lamps to expansive bespoke installations, Brokis lighting brings warmth, atmosphere and a distinctive visual identity to residential, hospitality and commercial interiors.
Contemporary Czech Lighting and Bohemian Glass
Brokis is defined by the relationship between modern design and traditional glassmaking. Its collections are developed in collaboration with leading Czech and international designers, who explore the color, transparency, scale and sculptural potential of handblown glass.
Each fixture balances visual character with functional illumination. Softly diffused light reveals subtle changes in the thickness and color of the glass, while carefully considered structures allow the material to appear suspended, weightless or gently illuminated from within.
The result is lighting that feels contemporary yet deeply connected to the cultural heritage of Czech glass production.
Crafted at the Historic Janštejn Glassworks
Brokis lighting is produced at the Janštejn Glassworks in the Czech Republic, where glassmaking has continued since 1809. The knowledge of experienced glass artisans is central to the identity and quality of every collection.
Molten glass is gathered, shaped and blown by hand, requiring precise coordination between temperature, movement and timing. Because of this artisanal process, each shade possesses slight variations that give it an individual character.
Traditional glassmaking is supported by contemporary production techniques, precision metalwork and modern LED technology. This combination allows Brokis to create fixtures with generous dimensions, complex forms and carefully controlled illumination while preserving the expressive qualities of handmade glass.
Iconic Brokis Lighting Collections
The Brokis portfolio includes some of the most recognizable designs in contemporary Czech lighting. Muffins, designed by Lucie Koldova and Dan Yeffet, pairs a substantial handblown glass shade with a refined base, creating a sculptural lamp that has become a signature of the brand.
Balloons uses an expansive glass form containing a smaller reflector, transforming a familiar silhouette into an elegant table or floor lamp. Knot combines rounded glass shades with visibly tied natural-fiber cords, creating a striking contrast between precision and informality.
Memory, designed by Boris Klimek, recalls the shape and emotional familiarity of an inflated balloon. Its hanging cord also functions as the switch, adding an element of playful interaction.
Shadows reinterprets the classic workshop pendant through handblown glass and clean wood details, while Mona places its light source within a smooth glass volume to emphasize the tension between transparency and illumination.
Other notable collections—including Capsula, Ivy, Night Birds, Bonbori, Macaron, Puro, Overlay and Starcloud—demonstrate the breadth of Brokis design, from intimate individual lamps to highly adaptable lighting compositions.
Lighting for Individual and Large-Scale Compositions
Many Brokis pendants can be installed individually or combined into customized groups. Variations in size, glass color, suspension height and arrangement allow designers to create compositions tailored to the proportions and function of a particular interior.
A small cluster can introduce atmosphere above a dining table, kitchen island or lounge area. Larger arrangements can define stairwells, hotel lobbies, restaurants and double-height residential spaces.
Collections such as Ivy, Puro, Night Birds and Starcloud are particularly suited to modular installations. Their repeated glass elements can be arranged into linear formations, organic clusters or dramatic vertical cascades that become integrated features of the architecture.
Indoor and Outdoor Brokis Lighting
The Brokis collection extends beyond interior pendants to include table lamps, floor lamps, wall fixtures, ceiling lights and selected designs for outdoor environments. This variety makes it possible to create a consistent lighting language across multiple spaces within a project.
Outdoor collections retain the refined material character associated with the brand while being developed for terraces, gardens and other exterior settings. Portable and freestanding options can add soft ambient illumination to open-air dining and lounge areas, helping exterior spaces feel like natural extensions of the interior.
Across every category, Brokis emphasizes comfortable illumination, balanced proportions and the atmospheric possibilities of glass.
Material Innovation and Responsible Production
Brokis continues to explore more responsible approaches to lighting production through durable design, efficient light sources and innovative uses for glass remnants.
The brand’s work with Brokisglass gives discarded glass fragments from production a new architectural and decorative purpose. Selected collections also incorporate upcycled glass directly into their material composition. Overlay, for example, pairs handblown glass with a concrete structure containing glass fragments from the Janštejn Glassworks.
By combining long-lasting craftsmanship with material experimentation, Brokis demonstrates how traditional production can support a more considered approach to contemporary design.
