Sultan Haitham City, Experience Center - Oman
Inspired by the delicate beauty of magnolia blossoms, the Magnolia Garden installation introduces organic elegance to a conference room.
Delicate crystal petals form blossoms along the branches, softly illuminated by LED modules for a natural glow. Crafted from textured slumped glass in pastel shades, these petals bring depth and vibrant colour to the design.
Magnolia flowers represent purity and transformation, blending the serene indoors with the vibrant greenery outside. They invite an ongoing conversation between the interior and the surrounding nature.
Design of the Magnolia concept: Anezka Zavadova
Design of the composition for the conference room: Bedriska Buresova

Al Ifran Mosque - Oman, Muscat
A curtain can create a space by separation. It opens or closes, like on the theatre stage. It suggests something is behind, perhaps something curious, and anticipation builds as one waits for it to open. Compared to a wall, it is a soft, sensual and intimate definer of space.
The component group is a number of spheres hanging one above another on a single suspension cable, creating a vertical cluster. The cluster can combine different illumination methods, for example injected light into the spheres (opal pearl components are recommended), individual up-lights for each component cluster or simple down lights from the ceiling. The design presents a rich and opulent geometrical impression while keeping a clearly contemporary style.

Magnolia Garden - Emerald Hills Villa
Inspired by the delicate beauty of magnolia blossoms, the Magnolia Garden installation introduces organic elegance to a sleek, futuristic villa. Spanning nearly 10 meters through the villa’s atrium, it invites guests in and leads them upstairs to the living room, seamlessly weaving natural elements into the clean architectural lines.
Magnolia Garden’s soft colours and flowing forms beautifully contrast the villa’s rigid geometry, offering a refreshing transition that links the structured interior with the lush garden outside. The installation showcases a welded metal framework of branching structures in warm brass tones, mirroring the villa’s brass accents.
Delicate crystal petals form blossoms along the branches, softly illuminated by LED modules for a natural glow. Crafted from textured slumped glass in shades of caramel, lemonade, pink, and honey, these petals bring depth and vibrant colour to the design.
Magnolia flowers represent purity and transformation, blending the serene indoors with the vibrant greenery outside. They invite an ongoing conversation between the home and the surrounding nature.
