FRANTIŠEK JUNGVIRT | GLASS – COLOURFUL AND PLAYFUL | 12. 9. 2024

František Jungvirt (*1996) is a glass artist, designer and glass painter. He studied glass painting at the Secondary School in Třeboň and is a graduate of the glass studio at the Prague AAAD under the guidance of sculptor Rony Plesl. In his work, he often uses traditional references of Slovak glassmaking, to which he adds a new expression. With each work, he then tries to advance the technical and visual possibilities of the field. The characteristic features of Jungvirt's work include not only playing with shapes, but also with colours and hand-painted motifs. In addition to designing utility objects, he is dedicated to creating art objects, installations and limited series made of glass. His portfolio includes designer vases intended for everyday use as well as art objects full of fantasy. 

In slávica, he presented a cross-section of his work. The vases were presented together with bouquets from the DIVOZEL concept. We would also like to thank the Juran z Modry winery for their support. 

DIVOZEL is a unique floral concept created by Slávka Bažalíková. Slávka lives on the slopes of the Carpathians with her husband, children and wild garden. She likes to dig in the ground, plant, walk through the countryside and collect wild herbs that we sometimes overlook. She is fascinated by nature as it is. She enjoys bringing its wildness to people. She believes that a person becomes better in proportion to how receptive they are to their surroundings, to the countryside and to people. Flower arranging is a wonderful creative process for her. She enjoys simply and sensitively decorating spaces, using what she grows, finds and ties with her hands. Gently and with love.  

JURAN Z MODRY is an honest winery that produces high-quality and healthy wines grown from grapes on an area of five hectares exclusively in the Modra wine-growing region. The uniqueness of their terroir, the honest work of the winegrower and the skill of the winemaker merge into a unique synergy, resulting in unique wines. Behind the winery is the winemaker and winegrower Peter Juran, who passionately develops the family wine-growing and winemaking tradition for the next generation.
