For centuries, glass and crystal have been admired for their ability to interact with light; absorbing and reflecting it through their clear, frosted, or opaque surfaces, creating stunning visual effects, from prismatic rainbows to glowing reflections.

It is that play with light which makes glass and crystal such ideal material for ethereal and transformative works.

Beyond its striking visual allure, glass carries a deep emotional and aesthetic appeal. Its ephemeral beauty symbolises the transient nature of life and time, resonating deeply with human emotions and philosophical ideas. Its transformative nature elevates spaces and evokes emotions in ways few other materials can achieve.

Glass is a sustainable material that can be recycled without losing quality, making it an eco-friendly choice for modern people. Its thermal and moisture resistance also makes it very well-suited for hot and humid climates.

ÄKTA Atelier invites contemporary artists to play with this extraordinary means of artistic expression.
