The inspiration for this unique collection was a collaboration with the world-renowned director Tim Burton, during one of his exhibitions. The Tim Collection was among our earliest efforts, based on the shapes of the glass cloches covering Burton’s artworks. These monumental pieces marked BOMMA’s entry to the world of top-level lighting design and set us on our path. Free-blown glass without the use of a form, literally reaches the limits of this size and weight. Unique in the world-wide scale, these lights combine minimalistic design with the greatest examples of glassmaking mastery.

The Studio was founded in 1990 during the Vitra Design Museum workshop led by Denis Santachiara. At that time Michal Froněk and Jan Němeček studied Architecture at AAAD Prague (Academy of Arts Prague). Jan had a car and could drive them to the workshop in Switzerland, the start of a 25-year collaboration. They focus on industrial design, interiors and the reconstruction of historical and industrial buildings. Professor Michal and Jan now head the Atelier of Design at AAAD Prague, they inspire and influence the youngest generation of Czech talents. They have become ambassadors of Czech design. Their works are represented in collections of prestigious galleries and museums such as the Metropolitan Museum New York.

The company was born of a historic Bohemian region, with centuries of glassmaking heritage. Rather than simply maintaining these techniques, BOMMA raised traditional craft to sophisticated mastery. Their glassmakers are the best from among the Czech talent pool. In this case, ‘best’ means talented, experienced and able to hand-blow crystal in monumental sizes. All BOMMA crystal lighting is hand-made, often redefining what is physically and technically possible.
BOMMA transforms interiors with handcrafted sculptural lighting that creates a distinct mood in each space – from eye-catching centerpieces and installations to soft ambient light. The company is renowned for its signature design that creates a sense of grace and delight. This minimalist, yet daring, aesthetic is appreciated by international architects and interior designers and quickly gained recognition in the design world.
