About
Sweet Butterflies
When the mastery of the pastry chef Iveta Fabešová and the art of the
glassmakers from Preciosa Lighting come together, something truly exceptional is
created. The Sweet Butterflies installation in the new branch of Iveta
Fabešová's confectionery in the iconic Masaryčka building is proof
of this.

Watch the story behind Sweet Butterflies
The butterfly has become my symbol, somewhat unplanned, so I dreamt that butterfly wings would greet you at the entrance to my new confectionery premises. The fragility of the crystal best describes the fragility of the butterfly's wings. That is why I approached Preciosa Lighting to create a swarm of glowing butterflies for me. They transformed my idea into a breathtaking reality.
Project in numbers
- 139 hand-blown Bohemian crystal components
- 11 big crystal butterflies
- 5 metres long installation
- 4 metres wide installation
Story
Sweet Butterflies
Design
Inspiration
The client was inspired by our installation Garden Metamorphosis at Changi Airport. where we because the symbol of her café is a butterfly. She wanted to create a symbolic lighting installation full of crystal butterflies.
Design to fit
Preciosa designer Anna Králová used light colors to enhance the atmosphere of the interior and add a touch of luxury to the space.
Components
Butterflies and leaves
The installation is made from hand-blown Bohemian crystal components including small and big butterflies and small and big single and double leaves. Each component is an original.
Components colours
The metal base is champagne for a warm feel and the crystal component colours that very form shades of pink to crystal clear.
Craft
Handcrafted in Crystal Valley
Each of the installation’s components was handcrafted in Crystal Valley in Czech Republic.
Crafted with love
Flowers and butterflies were individually handcrafted by glass masters. The entire concept was crafted with love by our Lightkeepers.
Designers
Anna Králová
What Anna really adores about working with crystal is a method that allows her to be both creative and precise.
"Working on the project Sweet Butterflies was a real pleasure. As the designer of the crystal installation for Iveta Fabešová's café, I was able to co-create the harmony of space and flavours, much like a pastry chef lovingly creates his perfect desserts."
