DECHEM studio was established in Prague in 2012 by Michaela Tomiskova and Jakub Jandourek, who first met at the Novy Bor School of Glass where they developed their passion for glass artistry. Since establishing DECHEM studio they have focused on product design, maintaining a special attention to glass, exploring traditional Bohemian craft techniques and the surprising connections of its various forms. On their website, the pair elaborate on their passion for glass in their own words: 'Glass, just like people or trees, is perfectly capable of being shaped and formed. One can imprint just about anything into it, give it a form, capture a passing moment, breath a new life into it. Later it stiffens and freezes like a petrified fossil, like magma, like a witness. No one can move it. It is solid as a rock and if you urge it, it rather shatters into pieces than to surrender.'
