Vase Prasklo - Purple Beads Prasklo
Product detailed description
Purple Beads is a one-of-a-kind concrete vase created by Prague-based artist Petra Švejdarová under her studio label Prasklo. Each piece is handmade using raw concrete and upcycled glass, then carefully hand-engraved to emphasize its sculptural quality and uniqueness.
The vase is fully waterproof and designed for both indoor and outdoor environments—whether used for flowers or displayed as an independent art object. Each piece is signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity, making it a collectible work that merges sustainability, utility, and expressive form.
Prasklo is not a conventional brand but an artistic exploration of material reuse. The studio was selected by curators for the Trendy 2020 exhibition at the Ambiente Design Fair in Frankfurt, recognizing creators who challenge visual norms and shape future aesthetics.
Each Purple Beads vase is made individually in the Czech Republic, combining timeless craft with contemporary thought. The result is an object with presence, character, and story—crafted from what others might overlook.

PRASKLO is an artistic design label founded in 2014 by the creative duo Petra Švejdarová and Klára Vaculíková. Their work focuses on unique handcrafted vases and objects made from waste glass and concrete. Each PRASKLO piece is a one-of-a-kind original — not a limited edition, but an individual object with its own story.
Their creations are rooted in a fascination with stone as a primordial natural material — its structure, its forms and its transformative potential. The upcycled glass, sometimes sourced from demolished buildings, gains new functional and aesthetic qualities when combined with concrete.
All objects are produced entirely by hand, using traditional methods and without digital technologies. The process is intuitive and material-driven, emphasising the impossibility of controlling nature and the beauty of working within its unpredictable boundaries.
Petra studied at the Secondary Industrial School of Packaging Technology in Štětí and later Object and Glass Art under Jakub Berdych at Scholastika in Prague. Klára first graduated from the Faculty of Law at Charles University and then studied photography at TAFE NSW in Sydney, Australia.
